Dear Hannah,

I just returned from the AICPA Spring Council Meeting and our discussions focused on change and the pace of change. According to Barry Melancon, the profession will be unrecognizable in under a decade. The drivers are technology, automation, robotics and artificial intelligence. Frankly, it’s a revolution in terms of the skills the next generation will need and where they will get them. There is no question that we will all need to become more adaptable and open to change.

Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy Regulation Changes 
Several changes to the rules and regulations governing the accounting profession, approved by the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy last year, took effect on Friday, May 19, 2017. The MSCPA was intimately involved in the process and, thanks to many of you, pushed for several changes to make the profession more accessible, while maintaining critical public protections components. Once approved, the new regulations will update Exam requirements, college credit transferability, licensing criteria and CPE credit segmentation.
