Required: Write a two-page (double-spaced) paper summarizing what you learned from these readings and videos. These two questions are required:
1. Did your perceptions about CPAs and the profession change? If so, how?
2. What aspects about a career as a CPA and/or in public accounting seem appealing or unappealing?
Here are some additional ideas of questions you might want to consider. (You do not have to answer all of these questions, and you can write other thoughts to reach the two-page requirement.)
• What are some career paths for CPAs?
• What is the daily life like for a CPA?
• Describe skills necessary to be successful in the profession. How can a CPA obtain these skills?
• What items from the readings surprised you?
• What are your thoughts about the actual career paths of the real auditors highlighted in the readings?
Other Information: You will be graded on grammar and content. Use 12-point font and 1” normal margins. Your name and any header should not take up more than 1 line total.
