Description: In our world of hashtags galore, perhaps this one took you by surprise: #AuditorProud. It’s an effort to attract more people to the accounting profession and show the role of the auditor in capital markets. This is the second such #AuditorProud day, sponsored by  the Centre for Audit Quality – an organization associated with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and funded by US accounting firms.
