Download or read book A White Collar Profession written by Theresa A. Hammond and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-01-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the major professions, certified public accountancy has the most severe underrepresentation of African Americans: less than 1 percent of CPAs are black. Theresa Hammond explores the history behind this statistic and chronicles the courage and determination of African Americans who sought to enter the field. In the process, she expands our understanding of the links between race, education, and economics. Drawing on interviews with pioneering black CPAs, among other sources, Hammond sets the stories of black CPAs against the backdrop of the rise of accountancy as a profession, the particular challenges that African Americans trying to enter the field faced, and the strategies that enabled some blacks to become CPAs. Prior to the 1960s, few white-owned accounting firms employed African Americans. Only through nationwide networks established by the first black CPAs did more African Americans gain the requisite professional experience. The civil rights era saw some progress in integrating the field, and black colleges responded by expanding their programs in business and accounting. In the 1980s, however, the backlash against affirmative action heralded the decline of African American participation in accountancy and paved the way for the astonishing lack of diversity that characterizes the field today.

Book excerpt: ***** SAVE WHEN YOU BUY DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER AT https://store.cpatrendlines.com/shop/accountaneur/ ***** Advance Praise for Accountaneur(r) "Accountants need to be more than just accountants and Hitendra creates a way for accountants to look at themselves. He calls it the Accountaneur(r). This book contains a great deal of new thought about what accountants should be doing. It is a required read for all professionals, partners, and non-partners. Leaders at accounting firms have a huge responsibility to create a business environment conducive to growth and achievement, not just at their firms, but especially for their clients. Hitendra brings a perspective that helps accounting firm leaders find answers to key questions that will lead to entrepreneurial achievement."- August J. Aquila, CEO, AQUILA Global Advisors LLC, consultant to professional service firms, author, and speaker. "What impressed me the first time I met Hitendra is his drive to help others reach their potential. This book does just that. You will learn and appreciate what an important role the accountant plays in our business and personal lives. Hitendra makes the profession come alive. If you are in the accounting profession, or thinking about it, you must read this book!"- Chester Elton, New York Times best-selling author of "The Carrot Principle," "All In," and "What Motivates Me" "Entrepreneurs create wealth and opportunities for others. Entrepreneurial accountants make it possible for entrepreneurs. Accountaneur(r) is a probing question bank for accountants who want to be entrepreneurial."- Allan D. Koltin, CPA, CEO, Koltin Consulting Group Inc. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? Think different. Taking a cue from several research studies across different professions and industries that identify traits, strengths, talents, skills, values, and beliefs, we identify the most common attitudes and beliefs of successful accountants who can be deservedly called as entrepreneurs in the true sense of the word. An Accountaneur is an entrepreneur whom, with considerable initiative and risk, organizes and manages a business that provides tax, accounting, and advisory services to solve problems for people, for profit, or, for pay, by employing productive labor and technologies. So, the difference between an Accountaneur(r) and an accountant lies in his or her traits, strengths, talents, skills, values and beliefs. There are three types of people in the professional world. Those who work for others, i.e. in a job. Those who work for themselves, i.e. who create a job for themselves. And those who create jobs for others. An Accountaneur(r) either works for him or herself or is the one who creates jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? If you work for yourself or if you have created jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession, you are an entrepreneur, rather an Accountaneur. You are an Accountaneur if you chose not take up a job, but chose instead to create a business. More at http://cpatrendlines.com/author/patil

Download or read book The Social Function of Accounts written by John Flower and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accountancy as presently practised is tied to the paradigm of modern financial capitalism with its reliance on market solutions and the maximization of the firm’s profits, which are the fundamental causes of most these problems. The Social Function of Accounts argues that accountancy, as currently organized and practised, is failing society, both in Britain and in the world as a whole. Examining the current problems afflicting the world: financial crises and instability, global warming, degradation of the environment, growing inequality, this book asks the question - what contribution does accountancy make to the solution of these problems? The book argues that the accountancy profession does not serve the public interest, notwithstanding its claim to this effect. The Social Function of Accounts argues that the moral responsibility of the accountant is analysed with reference to the principal theories of ethics continuing that the individual accountant has a moral responsibility to consider the impact of his actions on other people and on society as a whole. This responsibility is then analysed in a series of chapters dealing with four specific aspects of the matter: Distributive Justice, Sustainability, Financial reporting & the Accountancy Profession. Concluding with a call for the accountancy profession to adopt a new ethic of service to the public The Social Function of Accounts redraws the boundaries of current accounting literature and will be vital reading for academics, researchers and policy makers in accounting and related disciplines.
