i love andersen consulting, now accenture. i especially love the story that when andersen consulting first started, the consul\u00adtants who worked for the firm were not accountants. they hired mostly liberal arts majors \u2013 creative thinkers who were exception\u00adal at communicating and innovating, but not so great with the numbers. the executives at andersen taught the consultants accounting and, well, how to be an actual consultant.<\/p>\n

i hope this motivates today\u2019s firms. this younger generation of accountants has more than 150 hours of accounting, but they are less well rounded than previous generations. this is a problem.<\/p>\n

we can no longer complain to the aicpa as to when they made that 150-hour rule, why they created more necessity for young accountants to learn more useless financial knowledge that\u2019s constantly changing as opposed to having them develop better writing and analytical skills. that\u2019s most important in today\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n
