The Evolving Accounting Pipeline: Virginia & National Outlook
Emily Walker, Molly Wash and James Cox
Virginia just authorized an alternative route to CPA licensure that trades the extra 30 college credits for additional supervised experience. National regulators have now folded the same idea into updated legislation, and other states are weighing. At the same time, focus is moving beyond licensure alone, with VSCPA expanding classroom outreach, scholarships and other programs to keep students moving into the profession. See where the pipeline stands today, what’s changing next, and how you can help shape the profession’s future.
