Overview
Join us as we return to an in-person Annual Meeting!
Everyone’s talking about filling the CPA pipeline – including the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ). We’ll be joined by Liz Barentzen, the Vice President, Operations and Talent Initiatives at CAQ to learn more about their efforts.
Recent CAQ research reveals that reaching students before they get to college is critical, with 66% of accounting majors reporting they had decided to major in accounting before they arrived on a college campus. The CAQ, through its Bold Ambition and Accounting+ initiatives, has partnered with a number of organizations to help reach younger audiences via a scalable digital platform implemented in more than 3,000 high schools in the 2023-2024 school year alone, with impressive results.
