Women now account for 19 percent of all public accounting firm partners, up from 12 percent a decade ago, according to a new study by the American Institute of CPAs.
The study, "A Decade of Changes in the Accounting Profession: Workforce Trends and Human Capital Practices," was conducted under the aegis of the AICPA's Work/Life and Women's Initiatives Executive Committee and explored a wide range of topics, including career advancement, turnover, and mentoring. Over 2,600 CPAs took part in the research, including those working both in firms and in business and industry.
The survey found that women increasingly are attaining leadership positions in public accounting firms. In addition, many more women, as well as men, are taking advantage of alternative career paths offered by an increasing number of firms.
