We use DMS (Document Management System) software for our document management, it of course has clients tax returns and supporting documentation, which includes SSN's, EIN's, addresses, etc...
Why does this program not have a login similar to Lacerte?
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) is a U.S. law that requires financial institutions to protect customer data. Under the GLBA, tax and accounting professionals are considered financial institutions, regardless of size.
So how is it that DMS, which I'm sure many other accounting firms use, is not GLBA compliant, and for that matter IRS compliant when it comes to protecting taxpayer data?
This really is a huge problem with the program. Do we have other safeguards in place, of course we do, that does not detract from the fact that the program should have a password protected login.
Thanks for the idea to have a log in similar to Lacerte for DMS. We are changing the status to "Open for voting".
