I have always talked about Sarbanes-Oxley being a gold-mine for accountants. So big a gold-mine that accountants seem to be recession-proof.
That might explain the latest data showing that accounting degrees are up 19 per cent. The American Institute of CPAs figures show there 64,221 graduates in 2006-07, up substantially over the three-year period since the 2003-04 survey.
Hirings are up to, rising 83 per cent over the base year of 2003-04.
More evidence that Sarbanes-Oxley has been a godsend to the accounting profession.
SOX indeed is a godsend to our profession. Too bad, software companies don’t see it the same way.
…Apparently, SOX is a monster:
