Why are there fewer accountants? What the research says

Published 2 years, 4 months ago
Description

The factors contributing to a decline in the accounting talent pool are many, and so are the strategies to address the issue. 

In this podcast episode, Sue Coffey, CPA, CGMA, AICPA & CIMA's CEO–Public Accounting, explains what early research has shown about why students are showing less interest in accounting. She also details the steps that multiple entities, including the National Pipeline Advisory Group (NPAG), are taking to grow the pipeline.

In the interview, Coffey discusses CPA licensure, the 150-hour educational requirement, CPA practice mobility, and other issues important to her and the profession.
