What is AuditNet?
-----------------

AuditNet is a conceptual model developed by Jim Kaplan, Audit Manager for
Fairfax County, Virginia.  The original concept was for a central
electronic resource for the audit community that would provide a link for
auditors worldwide.  The initial concept has evolved into a network of
resources available for auditors.  The AuditNet concept now has the
auditor as the hub of a wheel.  The spokes of that wheel represent
resources available for professional auditors. Some of those spokes are
connected by pointers via the Internet while some spokes are islands unto
themselves.  A listing of those electronic resources is updated and
distributed montly via the Internet and CompuServe.  As the technological
barriers to an open communication system disintegrate, those isolated
resources will eventually be electronically linked. 

When that situation occurs the AuditNet conceptual model will have evolved
into a true network of audit professionals electronically linked together.
