Abstract The article focuses on issues related to women employed in public accounting in the United States. In the last 20 years, the number of women entering the public accounting profession has increased dramatically. Because of this increase, many issues that had not been concerns previously became of great importance. These issues include the treatment of women accountants regarding pay, advancement, and responsibilities; the long-term commitment of the women to the firms and of the firms toward their women employees; and possible changes in the work environment necessary to retain women accountants. Various changes that could be made to help retain women accountants include availability of work-schedule flexibility, adequate planning for out-of-town job assignments, and accommodation for child-rearing responsibilities. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants considers this area to be of such importance that it established the Committee on the Upward Mobility of Women in 1986 and has recently continued this committee indefinitely. In summary, the results of this study suggest that there is generally favorable agreement on many issues related to the opportunities, treatment, acceptance, and commitment of women in public accounting.
