Mis Group Shapes lis Destiny Early last November, as the winter's first snow flurries descended on northern Illinois, planes converging on O'Hare Airport brought Haskins & Sells management advisory services talent from all parts of the country for a three-day stock taking of how far the Firm has come in MAS. The meeting was appropriately staged at the Drake Oakbrook just west of Chicago, where in 1900 the Firm took an early systems engagement to prepare a report on "The Methods of Accountancy of the City of Chicago." That engagement was typical of much of our work in those days. In fact, with the great growth of audit and tax services yet to come, work of this kind was the backbone of the early practice of Haskins & Sells. The only thing new about MAS, as we call systems work today, is its scope, sophistication, and volume, and the special staff assembled for it. Yet our present state of competence has not been reached by a direct and inevitable course. It was given a special push by a policy memorandum written Gordon L. Murray
