PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' STAFF TRAINING PROGRAMS.
Abstract
This article focuses on the author' views about staff training programs. The author says that along with other accounting firms everyone faced during the war with the necessity of devoting more and more time to the training of staff. As one know, the number of junior accountants turned out by colleges during this period was cut to a mere trickle. Many of accountants saw service in the armed forces while others went into war industries. As a result the quality of staff was considerably impaired. To maintain professional standards, everyone was forced into a more intensive training program. The cessation of the war, of course, has relieved but it has not cured the situation. The author further says that one still find it necessary to devote a very considerable time to the continued training of staff. In view' of this condition, the author is happy to see once again a healthy flow of qualified graduates from colleges which he is sure will in time do much to improve the quality of the entire accounting profession.
