Socially Responsible Accounting
Learning Objectives
Its historic obligation was to serve the public interest; to detect, deter and prevent fraud and to help insure accountability and trust in our institutions. This presentation focuses on the loss of trust by the public in our profession as a result of the explosion of corporate misdeeds; confusion over what it even means to be a CPA today, and the consequence that resulted in significant reductions in the number of students who major in accounting. This presentation also suggests ways to restore the reputational capital of the profession; to attract the next generation of students who want to contribute meaningfully to a better global society.
