Just how big is AuditNet^® and what statistics do you have to support your claims? When I began building AuditNet^®, I maintained that if I built it auditors would come.  What started in August 1994 as a one page list of 10 resources has mushroomed into the oldest and most comprehensive free site for the global audit community. While I have been reluctant to provide numbers because, in my opinion, outcomes are what counts, I have decided to play the numbers game and provide the information for the curious. There are a number of statistics that I gather on a monthly basis. The following statistics are the latest statistics from last month.

Audit Programs Registered Users 46,000
Newsletter subscribers 4,608
Audit Programs discussion list subscribers 814
Audit General discussion list subscribers 606
Sarbanes-Oxley 404 discussion list subscribers 283
Total resource links in KARL - 1,401
Number of pages in KARL- 123
Number of audit programs in the inventory 1,373

In addition, the following information comes from last month's Web Trends report. Periodically I generate a report that provides this information and much more. The statistics provided help manage the site.

While all these numbers may interest the curious few the bottom line is that AuditNet is dedicated to maintaining and providing this clearinghouse of information for the benefit of the global audit community.  I am constantly asked by auditors how they can help in this effort. My response is to contribute and share in the AuditNet^® philosophy of Auditors Sharing Knowledge (ASK) for Progress.
