Confidentiality --information known to accounting professionals may not be disclosed to outsiders except when professional work papers are subpoenaed by a court. (Accountants do not have attorney-client privilege.)

How do you deal with confidential information?

Confidential by its nature means only a few people are privy to the information, or certain people aren't authorized to gain access to specific information. Confidential information is handled by sharing it with need to know people/personnel only. Providing confidential information to other than those that need to know could cause harm or worse. In other words, confidential information is sensitive, and should be handled with lots of silence stirred-in.
