Creating Opportunity for Future Leaders

AICPA and state CPA societies are working on three different fronts to achieve STEM recognition for accounting:

  • Advocating for bipartisan federal legislative support 
  • Encouraging colleges and universities to apply for the STEM designation
  • Securing federal STEM designation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security

 

Advocate Expansion - There are currently 2 bipartisan bills (HR3541 and S. 1705) that would expand accounting education for K-12 students.

Lend Your Voice to the Effort
