Reclaiming the Profession's Heritage Remarks by Arthur Levitt, Jr. As SEC Chairman, Arthur Levitt, Jr., was openly critical of accounting practices and urged reforms that would benefit and protect individual investors. Since he left the SEC in February 2001, Levitt's concerns have proven to be prescient, and he has continued to stress the need for changes that would restore trust in the U.S. financial markets. His speech to the KPMG partners adapted in this issue reiterates many of Levitt's long-standing positions. But it also highlights the vital role that auditors play in keeping the financial markets running smoothly. Levitt is critical of the role accountants have played in the recent spate of corporate scandals, but believes that the accounting profession occupies a unique position in society and can play a vital role in restoring investor confidence.
