This paper reports the results of a survey of 219 American Institute of Certified Public Accountant members about legal services their public accounting firms currently offer and plan to offer in the future, and how they would organize their firm to deliver these services to clients. The survey is motivated by the legal profession's current investigation of whether to allow nonattorneys to share fees and become partners with nonattorneys and by the American Bar Association's call for evidence on the current existence of multidisciplinary practice (MDP). Forty-four states established MDP committees to recommend whether legal ethics rules should be relaxed to allow MDP. Relaxed ethics rules allow public accounting firms to employ attorneys to offer a full array of legal services to their clients. We find that public accounting firms already offer a number of legal services to their clients and are interested in increasing the offering of these services if allowed. The results also indicate that the size of the public accounting firm is likely to influence the types of legal services offered and the arrangements used to deliver the legal services to clients. The findings are important because they highlight the need for the legal and accounting professions to formulate rules regarding MDP.

Content Type

Purpose Built upon three components (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors that influenced accounting students’ intention to pursue public accounting instead of private accounting as their career choice in China. Design/methodology/approach The TPB is used to predict the rational intention of accounting students in this study. A binary logistic regression analysis was applied to test all hypotheses because of its suitability. Findings The authors find that the variety and marketability of public accounting experiences, high turnover plus, low firm cohesion in the workplace, and perceived difficulties in traveling extensively affected students’ intentions to pursue the public accounting profession significantly. By highlighting these factors that affect students’ intention to pursue public accounting, this paper has important implications for the accounting educators and other stakeholders in China and other emerging economies. Originality/value By understanding the factors influencing the accounting students’ interests in pursuing public accounting, accounting educators and accounting firms could make some changes, redesign accounting curriculum, and enhance internship experience and recruiting process in order to increase more interests in public accounting. Professional organizations and policy makers might learn some lessons to take some actions to encourage young accounting professionals to work for public accounting firms. Moreover, this study has provided a valuable perspective to accounting educators, practitioners, and policy makers in other emerging economies with the same shortage of qualified public accountants.

Educators, practitioners and others have criticized the universities for not providing adequate communication training to their accounting students. Gingras (1987) conducted a survey of CPAs concerning the importance and overage of written communication skills in business schools. This study compares the perceptions of educators and CPAs regarding the importance of written communication skills to a CPA, the coverage of written communication skills in the accounting curriculum and the relative importance of a list of writing activities performed by a CPA. The focus groups include university professors, and staff assistants, senior, managers and partners of public accounting firms. The responses analyzed using the ANOVA technique, indicate that coverage of communication skills is relatively low and most accounting students take only one writing course in their college curriculum. Educators and practitioners recommend general writing related courses as the appropriate instruction in the accounting curriculum. Many respondents believe that to be successful in the profession, accounting students should increase their writing skills by studying grammar, punctuation and spelling and by taking more courses than are currently required in most business curricula. In addition, significant differences between educators and CPAs responses are analyzed and discussed.
