Does the AICPA help accountants if a firm is forcing you to remove CPA designations from your email and professional profiles? This kind of feels like a direct attack on our profession. What exactly are they trying to say? Anyone can do this job you don’t need CPAs?

Everyone should be able to know whether they are or are not speaking to a CPA. This has to be against one of our rules.

If you work at PwC you should understand why. It’s because your email typically gets sent to many people often not in the state you are licensed in and therefore it creates unnecessary legal risk of you holding yourself out as a cpa in a territory you are not actually licensed in.

I'd just assume PW which has been in the business since 1864 probably has a good reason for this. When I was at PW we felt being part of PW was far more prestigious and a badge of accomplishment than being a CPA.

Lmao this has to be trolling right?
