Participate in Important Research on Gender and Career Advancement in Accounting

|

SCACPA has been asked to help support a research study conducted by a doctoral student in the Professional Leadership program at Converse University. The dissertation, titled “A Study of the Impact Gender Plays in the Ascension of Certified Public Accountants to the Chief Financial Officer Role,” aims to shed light on an important aspect of career progression within our profession. 

The primary goal of the research is to explore the impact of gender on the advancement of CPAs to the CFO role. This study is not only crucial for the doctoral dissertation but may also contribute to broader understanding and discussions within the accounting community and beyond.
