Harris takes a large view of the profession. He believes the economic crisis, global convergence of standards, a worldwide concern about the depletion of nonrenewable natural resources, and generational changes all present unprecedented opportunities for CPAs. Harris, who was elected to a one-year term as chairman of the AICPA during the fall Council meeting in October, says he is concerned that young people don’t fully appreciate the innovation and breadth associated with the CPA profession—a view he hopes to foster during his year as chairman. “Throughout my career, I have listened to clients and worked with them to solve their problems and help them meet their objectives,” Harris said. “The knowledge I gain from the exposure to a wide variety of clients provides me with constant learning moments. These last 13 years, I have been fortunate to work with CPAs all over the country who are involved in professional malpractice cases, and the ability to help them has been so very rewarding.” Harris’ appreciation for the profession and his philosophical approach to making a difference in business owe a great deal to an early influence. His grandfather, who was the 13th CPA licensed in Florida, practiced in St. Petersburg, Fla., and had a motto printed on the back of his business card that Harris keeps in his office: “Unless we are wiser today than yesterday, we must expect to fail tomorrow.” Harris, who holds the Institute’s CFF credential in financial forensics, is managing director of the public accounting firm Harris, Cotherman, Jones, Price & Associates, CPAs, in Vero Beach, Fla. He brings to the chairmanship extraordinary experience and insight into the profession from a variety of roles while maintaining a forward-thinking and progressive approach, said AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon. “He’s served on numerous AICPA and state society committees, including advocating for small firms on the PCPS Executive Committee and overseeing the Institute’s four specialized credentials on the National Accreditation Commission. And his own small-firm practice gives him an incredibly broad knowledge of the profession,” Melancon said. “He’s approachable and listens. He will be a great advocate of members in the greater context of what is right for the profession.” Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
