Accounting Today

The pace of change in the CPA profession is getting faster, and not enough accountants are ready, according to New York State Society of CPAs executive director Joanne Barry. Speaking Thursday during an Accountants Club of America luncheon in Manhattan, Barry talked about a host of recent trends. “The landscape is changing dramatically, and not enough CPAs that I speak to are aware of the dramatic changes that are happening in the profession and how the profession needs to be responsive to what’s going on, more so than they have been in recent years,” she said.
