Major Topics
  2. Change: According to an educators’ panel at the Aspen Institute, the rate of change over the next decade as it relates to technology is expected to be four to seven times faster than during the previous decade. If it’s four times faster, it would be like preparing for today in 1890. If it’s seven times faster, it would be like preparing for today in 1670. It seems the only constant these days is change.
  3. Complexity: "The biggest challenge facing enterprises from here on will be the accelerating complexity and the velocity of a world that is operating on a massively interconnected system."
  4. Compliance - with all of the rapidly changing standards that are impacting the profession. Things like state and federal legislation and regulation, auditor rotation, mobility, regulation of tax preparers, etc., etc.
  5. Convergence - dealing with IFRS and the convergence of U.S. GAAP with global accounting standards.
  6. Competition - there’s more of it than ever, and it’s coming at us faster than ever.
