An increase in the number of businesses, changing financial laws and
regulations, and greater scrutiny of company finances will drive faster-
than-average growth of accountants and auditors, ” reports the
Department of Labor (DOL). In addition, in response to recent accounting
scandals, new Federal legislation restricts the nonauditing services that
public accountants can provide to clients. If an accounting firm audits a
client’s financial statements, that same firm cannot provide advice on
human resources, technology, investment banking, or legal matters,
although accountants may still advise on tax issues, such as establishing
a tax shelter. This requires the client in most cases to hire two separate
firms to handle their annual accounting and financial services needs.
This course will review some of the causes and effects of the increasing
demand for accountants. We will then review some of the steps that you
and your firm can take to retain quality accountants and avoid the risk of
accountant turnover within your organizations.
