Fax Modem
Using a fax modem makes for nice- looking reports and letters because it will transmit whatever is on the
computer directly to a fax machine. A letter or report file does not need to be converted to ASCII in order to be
sent. The fax can be sent to one person or, by using address books or contact lists, to an entire group of people.
The auditor can send the audit plan, audit report, and checklist instantly from his or her computer, and they will
arrive in the correct format—a necessity for the auditor’s deliverables to look their best.
Electronic Device Choices
People have more and more choices of electronic devices to best suit their needs. Net books are small
computers the size of a book that have the computing power of a regular computer but without add- ons such
as CD or DVD player- recorders. Tablets and iPads provide internet access and enhanced graphics as
handheld devices. Cellular phones have advanced to “smartphones,” which can access the internet, take
pictures, record videos, and monitor e-mails. Functionality can be added to smartphones by adding custom
software called apps (applications software).
