In his first address as Chairman of the Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Robert K. Elliott said: Knowledge leveraging will shape a wide range of CPA services. CPAs will be able to identify relevant information and its sources, perform modeling, devise and apply performance measures of all kinds, design systems to obtain needed information, advise on controls and security, and otherwise ensure relevance and reliability. CPAs will identify and deploy knowledge needed for strategic planning and investments, for marketing decisions, for monitoring internal and external conditions, for conducting daily operations, for maximizing the productivity of employee behavior, and for measuring the effectiveness of operations, personnel and processes. All this and more (Elliott 2000). Discuss ways in which the course material you have learned so far agrees with this quote. Discuss any disagreements. Do you think that the CPA should be performing these services? Why or why not? (Original Post Due by 9/14 11:59 PM CST, Replies Due 9/16 11:59 PM CST) Robert K. Flliott Who Are We as n Drofous
