Accounting and financial reporting informs decisions around the world...decisions about whether to start a new business...how to invest retirement funds...even who should be promoted! We as accountants design this information, test it for weaknesses, and work to ensure that it communicates the relevant facts as reliably and transparently as possible. As such, accounting professionals help keep U.S. and international capital markets safe and prosperous.
