Genuine Learning Blog: NPAG Releases Data-Driven Strategies

| , ,

This past July, the AICPA’s National Pipeline Advisory Group (NPAG) related its Accounting Talent Strategy Report to address the accounting talent shortage. This report was based off of data collected from a national pipeline survey, focus groups with state societies and firms, and discussions with professional and regulatory bodies. More than 7,950 students and accounting professionals took the national survey, and more than 1,600 people participated in the focus group. The report analyzes the root causes of the accounting talent shortage, potential solutions, and next steps forward.
