AGA-KC February 2020 Professional Development Luncheon
The KC AGA Chapter met at Nick & Jake’s for their February Professional Development Luncheon where Dr Leigh Salzseider, UMKC Accounting Chair joined us as our speaker. His talk, “Human Capital Management: Who is the accountant of the future?”, was an insightful discussion about the changes taking place in the accounting profession. Automation has touched accounting just as it has changed the automotive and the financial investment industries. The AIPCA is taking steps to adjust the requirements for CPAs. In turn, universities are adjusting the programs that have historically been driven primarily by accounting classes. Programs of the future will incorporate data analytics, critical thinking and problem solving skills classes. It is an exciting and dynamic time in the accounting profession. This hour long talk provided a glimpse of what organizations might expect from our future accountants. Click Here to view Dr. Salzseider’s presentation.
