Under the exposure draft from the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, accountants would have to consider specific factors to determine when reliance on technology is reasonable, in much the same way that they now consider reliance on the work of others. In addition, there are requirements in the new quality management to assess vendors that you rely upon.
