CPA Horizons 2025 — Anticipate and Plan for the Future
The CPA Horizons 2025 project intends to build upon the foundation of the CPA Vision Project from the late '90s, validate the findings, and discuss where the CPA profession goes in the future. It should take no more than 30 minutes of your time to help identify the important issues facing the CPA profession over the next several years. Visit the Horizon 2025 web page to participate in the survey.

Joint Venture — an Influential Alliance in the Profession
The joint venture brings together two recognized accounting organizations — the AICPA and CIMA — and creates the new Chartered Global Management Accountant credential.

This issue will mature in the coming months and years, but we want to advise you — the joint venture was approved by the AICPA Governing Council. The Society will provide more updates as they develop.
