The CPA Journal
The CPA Journal is celebrating its 75th year of publication. Throughout its history, the Journal has provided in-depth analysis of the developments in accounting, auditing, taxation, finance, management, ethics, education and technology.
The Journal’s complete redesign in 2004 represented the most significant change to the structure and appearance of the magazine since March 1972.
Recent highlights in the Journal include the following exclusive interviews:
-
Securities and Exchange Commission Chief Accountant Donald Nicolaisen (April 2004), who talked about professional ethics, auditor independence and standards setting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
-
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Chief Auditor Douglas Carmichael (September 2004), who focused on the PCAOB’s role in the standards-setting process.
-
New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi (October 2004), who discussed how his office was addressing the emerging financial scandals in certain school districts, as well as the comptroller’s responsibility for accountability of state agencies.
“During this 75th anniversary year, we are looking at the whole historical landscape of the accounting profession,” said Journal Editor-in-Chief Robert Colson, who joined the publication in June 2000.
About The CPA Journal
In 1923 the New York State Society of CPAs began publishing a news bulletin, which by 1930 evolved into a monthly professional journal called The Bulletin of the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants. In 1932 this name changed to The New York Certified Public Accountant, which in 1971 became The CPA Journal.
Issues since 1989 are archived on the Journal website at www.cpajournal.com.
