NCACPA ASKS STATE LAWMAKERS TO DESIGNATE ACCOUNTING AS STEM

In a presentation to the House Select Committee on Advancing Women in STEM, NCACPA called on legislators to designate Accounting as part of the state’s STEM curriculum under the field of Technology. The proposal also recommended offering high-quality accounting classes through grade 12 and additional resources for students who are underrepresented in the accounting profession. The association further recommended that the state support the AICPA Accounting Program for Building the Profession course in high schools and encourage higher education institutions to accept the course for college credit.
