Accounting may actually have been one of the first uses of the written word — to track tax payments over 5000 years ago in ancient Egypt. Recently, significant changes in the capital market environment have placed increased attention on the public accounting profession. The profession is continuing to evolve as legislators, regulators, company management, boards, audit committees and investors all focus on the vital role of the independent auditor in maintaining the integrity of the financial reporting process and preserving the public's trust in our capital markets.
