Message to Members
The pace of change has quickened markedly in the accounting profession this year. Expanding computer technology, changes in business practices, growth in the professions ranks, and an expansion of services all have had their impact on the membership. The Institutes response has been to accelerate its search for ways to improve existing services for members and to develop new ones. This report describes some of the steps taken to prepare the profession for a future which promises to be very different from anything previously experienced.
