MassCPA’s recent report “Workplace Inclusion: An Imperative for Change in the Accounting Profession” revealed significant Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) disparities within the accounting profession. For example, approximately 80% of senior leaders are white, while 60% are male. Perhaps one of the most notable findings, however, was a perception gap between leaders and employees. Alarmingly, 68% of leaders believe they foster empowering environments, while only 36% of employees agree, and 1 in 10 accounting professionals have left the field due to insufficient inclusion and equity measures.
