Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. <\/p>\n

Verito, a cloud hosting and managed IT provider for accounting firms, is partnering with the\u00a0National Association of Tax Professionals to deliver an AI governance and cybersecurity curriculum, built specifically for tax preparers, to NATP\u2019s 23,000-plus members nationwide.<\/p>\n

The curriculum gives NATP members a structured path through the artificial intelligence, data handling, and compliance decisions that now sit daily inside tax workflows. It builds on Verito\u2019s framework for the\u00a0Cyber-Ready Tax Practice, a concept describing a firm that handles AI use, client data, and regulatory documentation as deliberately as it handles a return, as well as on the company\u2019s 10 years of operating secure infrastructure for tax and accounting firms.<\/p>\n

The first curriculum sessions launch in Q2 2026.<\/p>\n

Verito says it will deliver continuing education and member-resource content across three domains:<\/p>\n

AI governance for tax workflows:\u00a0What AI tools fit tax prep, how to document AI use in client engagements, and how to vet AI vendors handling taxpayer data.<\/p>\n

Written Information Security Plans (WISPs):\u00a0Building, updating, and maintaining a current WISP, with templates and audit-ready documentation.<\/p>\n

Modern data protection practices:\u00a0Encryption, access management, multifactor authentication, and incident response patterns that match what underwriters and clients now expect.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is already inside the workflow of most tax firms, whether the firm\u2019s owner planned it or not,\u201d Jatin Narang, CEO and co-founder of Verito, said in a statement on May 20. \u201cThe question isn\u2019t whether to engage with these technologies. It\u2019s how to use them well, protect client data, and document the decisions you\u2019re making. That\u2019s what a Cyber-Ready Tax Practice looks like: a firm running modern tools intentionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Verito, the partnership delivers the following:<\/p>\n

For NATP members:\u00a0Continuing education credits, ready-to-use templates (AI use policy, WISP, vendor vetting checklists, and incident response plan), and direct access to practitioners who can answer tax-specific questions.<\/p>\n

For firms adopting AI tools:\u00a0A governance framework that lets them document AI use confidently.<\/p>\n

For firms positioning for growth:\u00a0A defensible Cyber-Ready Tax Practice posture that supports client retention, cyber insurance qualification, and firm valuation<\/p>\n

\u201cProtecting taxpayer data and helping members adapt to emerging technologies are important priorities for NATP,\u201d Scott Artman, CPA, CGMA, CEO of the National Association of Tax Professionals, said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to work with Verito to provide education and resources that help tax professionals strengthen their practices and confidently navigate evolving cybersecurity and AI considerations.\u201d<\/p>\n
