The value of audit and assurance, and how to attract young talent to the profession, were the main topics at the recent Global Accounting and Audit Forum, co-sponsored by the Global Accounting Alliance and the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Following the forum, several speakers and audience members recorded messages to the next generation of young accountants via one-minute videos. These videos are available on the GAA's website. We also have a video by a soon-to-be university student on what it was like for her to attend the forum. https://lnkd.in/gN_cYka6 #globalaccountingalliance #jicpa #accounting #audit #assurance #talent
