KPMG Survey Reveals Top

Y2K Compliance Obstacles

KPMG LLP conducted a survey of transportation industry execu- tives to determine what is the biggest obstacle to achieving Year 2000 compliance. A lack of techni- cal resources was cited by 46 per- cent of the respondents, while 22 percent said that high cost was the biggest hurdle. A further 14 per- cent responded that the lack of a sense of urgency made working towards compliance more difficult.

According to the survey, 97 percent of respondents said they would be fully compliant on January 1, 2000, but less than half said they have a contingency plan in place to deal with possible system break- downs or contamination issues.
