Digital Archives Advisory Committee (DAAC) - first meeting on October 23, 2009

The newly-established Digital Archives Advisory Committee (DAAC) serves under the Knowledge Development Group (now the Guidance and Support Group) at The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA). At its first meeting on October 23, 2009 in Toronto, the committee engaged in a lively debate on a variety of questions such as:

1. What is there to learn about accounting history in Canada?
2. What does the CICA have to offer?
3. What existing CICA archival materials can be accessed now?
4. What are the current CICA technology realities?
5. What is the CICA records retention policy?
6. What key connections need to be made?
7. What should Canadian accounting history initiatives cover?
8. What risks and opportunites await?
