Speaking on the importance of America’s Most Powerful Women in Accounting Award, AICPA President, Barry Melancon, described it as a platform for celebrating Female CPAs who have distinguished themselves and showcasing them as role models who already are inspiring younger generations of female professionals.

“Many of the finest professionals in accounting, as we all know are women. Yet, they don’t always receive the recognition they deserve. That is why the AICPA joined forces with the CPA Advisory Magazine to create the Most Powerful Women in Accounting Award. For over a decade, this award has shone a well-deserved spotlight on those women who have made an indelible impact in the accounting profession,” he said.
