In BriefThe United States' entry into World War II marked the start of the largest business undertaking in the nation's history, and accountants were needed to keep track of records and act as auditors. New taxes and regulations on manufacturing required their expertise—but public accounting firm staffs were decimated due to military enlistments and the draft. Although all CPA firms were affected to some extent and all made contributions to the war effort in one form or another, it was the predecessors of the firm now known as Deloitte that arguably supplied the most high-level talent. The firms that today comprise Deloitte—including Haskins & Sells; Touche, Niven & Co; and McLaren, Goode, West and Company—provided numerous partners to the Washington war machine. Their efforts helped ensure victory and led to innovations in accounting and auditing.
