Abstract

There is currently a shortage of about 340,000 accountants in the US, which is detrimental to companies.

  • However, especially in Utah, there are many women who graduated in accounting but don’t stay in the field for very long. These women could help to fill the shortage, which would be beneficial for them to grow as professionals and for companies.
  • My hypothesis is that employers aren’t aware of all the barriers that women face in the accounting field.
