Mission and Promise: AuditNet® is a Web portal created by Jim Kaplan for auditors.

AuditNet® is a communications network for auditors and professional associations. 

About AuditNet®

AuditNet® is a conceptual model developed by Jim Kaplan. The original concept was for a central electronic resource for the audit community that would provide a communication link for auditors worldwide. The initial concept evolved into a network of resources available for auditors. The AuditNet® concept originally had the auditor at the hub of a wheel. The spokes of that wheel represented resources available for professional auditors. Some of those spokes were connected by pointers via the Internet while some spokes were islands unto themselves. A listing of those electronic resources is updated and distributed monthly via the Internet. The AuditNet Home Page at http://www.auditnet.org and the hypertext version of the Kaplan's AuditNet Resource List (KARL) now operate as the hub of the wheel for the Auditors Network on the Internet.
