Greetings!
In this month's K2 Tech Update we look into the future to discuss technologies that will affect us in 2012.
You'll find three technology tips - Handling Rounding Issues in Excel, Testing Your Internet Service Provider's Network Speed and Managing Auto-Complete in Outlook 2010. We have news about CCH's Updates to ProSystem fx Workstream and ProSystem fx Practice SaaS, Thomson Reuters New Audit and Engagement Management SaaS Solution and Microsoft's Offer of Windows Defender Offline Beta.
If it is webinars you are looking for, K2 has teamed up with Surgent McCoy, LLC and ACPEN to provide "at your desk" CPE.
We hope you find this issue timely, relevant, and useful. If you have topics you would like for us to cover here in the coming months, please let us know.

Handling Rounding Issues in Excel
One of the more frustrating aspects of working in Excel is how the application sometimes appears to add values together incorrectly, providing results that appear to be incorrect by very small amounts. In this tip, we will explore the source of these types of errors and seek solutions to this issue.
Is Your Internet Provider Choking your Connection Speed?
For various reasons, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) sometimes manipulate internet connections, including controlling the speed of their networks. If you are curious as to whether your ISP is throttling your connection speed, you may wish to take advantage of a test provided by the Glasnost project.
Managing the Auto-Complete Option in Outlook 2010
In Outlook 2010, Auto-Complete is the feature that suggests email addresses as you type in data in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields of a message. While Auto-Complete is usually a useful tool, your Auto-Complete List can become so full that wading through the entries can be more of a drain in productivity than a boost. In this tip, you will learn how to manage the Auto-Complete option in Outlook 2010.
