CPAs on YouTube
Do you want to tell your students what a CPA does? Use
today’s popular Web site, YouTube, and have them watch a video which
was created by the Maryland Association of CPAs, titled "Defining
America's CPAs: Maryland," the video is a compilation of 30
interviews conducted during the MACPA's "road show" in early December
2006. MACPA Executive Director Tom Hood, Editor Bill Sheridan and a
video team from the AICPA's MultiMedia Group spent four days traveling
throughout the state and interviewing members about their jobs and
their inspirations.
