Abstract: When one of the authors of this article began his professional journey in 1968, personal computers were nowhere in sight, a 10-key adding machine was the standard, and accountants literally hand-posted transactions to accounting journals. When someone told you to copy something, it meant writing it out longhand or using a typewriter. Analyzing government financial information was perilous at best, given the inability to readily correlate data and with limited assurance about its reliability and completeness. Audits seemingly took forever and were 100 percent labor intensive.
