In forensic accounting, accountants and lawyers may be close partners; and in fact, attorneys are often the reason accountants enter the field of forensic accounting to begin with. All three accountants featured in these case studies found their way into the field through an attorney who needed help with a particular case. The rest, as they say, is history.

Defining forensic accounting: Michael Plude came into his career as a forensic accountant in a circuitous way. He started out in industry working as an assistant controller for a manufacturing company. Wanting to advance up the ladder, he obtained his MBA, and then, after a push from management, his CPA and state board license. But after the company was sold, he found himself in public accounting after all, having resisted the pull since graduation.
Quite a lot has been going on:

AICPA and NASBA sign mutual recognition pact with South African accountants | Accounting Today
The deal provides a pathway for South African Chartered Accountants and U.S. CPAs to have their credentials recognized in both their countries.
Under the terms of the agreement, the pact will facilitate the reciprocal recognition of the South African CA(SA) designation and the U.S. CPA license. It will also increase the mobility of professionals to facilitate growth of the profession in both the U.S. and South Africa.
The NASBA/AICPA International Qualifications Appraisal Board (IQAB) worked with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants to establish this pathway for those holding the CPA license and CA(SA) designation. The IQAB surveys and assesses professional practice standards and qualifications in specified countries and recommends the feasibility of recognition of credentialed non-U.S. professionals.

Boomer's Blueprint: 10X thinking is key to your success | Accounting Today
Dan Sullivan, Jim Collins, Frans Johannson, Steve Jobs, Carol Dweck, Peter Diamandis, Joe Polish and Grant Cardone have all impacted my thinking over the past 15 years. I was originally trained to think incrementally, rather than exponentially. My challenge has been to leverage this new way of thinking and help the accounting profession transform to sustain success and remain future-ready.
Each person has their own definition of success, but I believe success is an accumulation of events turning out well or achieving desired outcomes. It is also about being able to sustain and, at the same time, be future-ready. Most firm leaders today have experienced success and want to maintain their success. Yet this may be a limiting mindset and, along with emerging technology, limits the individual's potential to create success and keep it.
