Every college student at one point or another has had that dreadful thought, "what am I doing here, and what the heck am I going to do with my life?", as it relates to their major of choice and preferred career path. Luckily, for accounting majors interested in public accounting we have the benefit of a specific professional career, and less question marks. So how can a student separate from the crowd during interviews with a public accounting firm? Very few students straight out of college seem to grasp the accounting industry, so here is a list of 11 websites that will familiarize you with current events, changes in regulation, and the overall culture of public accounting.
American Institute of CPAs (AICPA)
Kentucky Society of CPAs (KYCPA)
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA)
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
