Attracting and retaining top talent remains a critical challenge for the accounting profession.
The National Pipeline Advisory Group (NPAG) is a multi-stakeholder body of accounting professionals, state CPA societies, academics, regulators and others engaged with the profession. The AICPA formed the advisory group in July 2023, in response to a resolution passed during the organization’s May Council Meeting. NPAG was charged with developing a profession-wide strategy for increasing the number of accountants and CPAs across the United States.
After extensive research and input on potential solutions, NPAG released its draft report with recommendations for strengthening the accounting pipeline. Learn which factors are contributing to the talent shortage, the top six areas of focus, and the next steps the profession can take to attract and retain top talent. A final report will be available in summer 2024.
