Women accountants - do they earn as much as men?
Article Abstract:
University of Pittsburgh MBA students graduating between 1973 and 1982 whose first post-MBA position was in accounting were surveyed to examine whether women in the accounting field were treated differently than men. Results indicate that starting salaries in the field vary depending on the industry in which one is employed, but there is no distinction in job levels or starting salaries for men and women. However, during 1983, men earned $6,000 more than women and only one third of the amount is accounted for by the type of job held or experience. In addition, while both men and women report feeling satisfied with their work and successful, women had less positive scores than men.

Why accountants oppose IRS access to work papers
Article Abstract:
The US Supreme Court recently reversed lower court rulings and held that no work-product privilege exists for tax accrual work papers, making them relevant in IRS investigations. The Court rejected contentions that such a conclusion would have a 'chilling effect' on the auditor-client relationship or that it would be an unfair practice. A survey of CPAs and corporate controllers which drew 157 usable responses found that only 13.1% of corporate respondents and 15.6% of CPAs would support the idea that work papers are relevant to the IRS. The overwhelming majority of the survey respondents felt that the IRS will mis-use its administrative authority to summon such papers.
