2021 Trends report

The AICPA 2021 Trends report has been published since 1971. The report identifies key trends in U.S. accounting enrollments and graduates, as well as hiring in the public accounting sector, and provides select information about CPA Exam candidates. This year’s Trends report provides statistical projections and respondent expectations based upon university responses for the 2019-20 academic year and firm responses for the 2020 calendar year.

The AICPA continues its commitment to grow the pipeline and looks forward to working with academic and practicing communities to ensure a vital and strong profession for the next generation of CPAs.
