The National Pipeline Advisory Group (NPAG) has published a report that calls for a profession-wide effort to bolster the supply of accounting talent.
The recommendations from the independent, 22-member group remain largely unchanged from a draft of the report that NPAG published in May, one year after AICPA Council passed a resolution supporting the initiative's launch.
Now, a new phase of the work begins. In September, a multistakeholder roundtable will meet to map details of the ongoing work and the work ahead to establish a format for maintaining connectivity and accountability among stakeholders to ensure continued progress.
"Implementing NPAG's proposed solutions will require cooperation from all key accounting bodies," the NPAG report said.
