Biggest Task: Educating the Public
Re: AICPA's Plan for Cognitor Designation Forges Ahead
From: Richard Vereb, CPA (not "cognitor")

You are exactly correct in your article analyzing the "public's" feelings.

I have been proud to be a CPA for thirty years. During all that time I felt the AICPA was not doing enough to educate the public correctly regarding our role in the business economy. Then, there was the Rose Bowl float (bad idea).

The current TV ads are a step in the right direction. The job is not done. There is no reason to enter confusion into the formula at this time.
