Have we achieved gender equality in the accounting industry?
Description
In Rebecca Mihalic's experience, women in the accounting profession can often face gender bias, whether it be in the form of unintentionally discriminatory language or an underrepresentation of females in leadership roles.
In the lead-up to International Women's Day this Sunday, 8 March, the businessDEPOT director, founding partner of Aptus Accounting & Advisory, and head of accounting at Practice Ignition, joins host Jotham Lian to reflect on the gender-specific challenges she's faced throughout her 20-year accounting career.
Rebecca explains how the repetitive nature of certain behaviour made her feel inadequate as a young accountant, shares what helped rebuild her confidence, and provides advice for other young professionals in the accounting space.
