What Jobs Will CPAs Have in the Future?

When a World Economic Forum study found accountants and auditors to be the fourth most likely professions to decrease, it was "a huge wake-up call for the industry,"  said Tim Jackson.

He is chair of the Competency Map Task Force, responsible for creating CPA Canada's new competency map. 

In this episode, Tim describes both the daunting challenges CPAs face, as well as the opportunities the profession’s ever-changing landscape presents. He says that we've seen significant changes within the profession over the last two decades that have necessitated new skills and the adoption of new ideas and technologies.   And when we look to the future of accounting, the trend of constant change looks likely only to accelerate.
