The
CPA Journal
is interested in a wide range of topics for both technical
and opinion articles. Technical articles of interest to
a broad cross section of our readers should be no more than
2500-3500 words. Of particular interest are articles on
recently promulgated accounting and auditing standards,
recently enacted tax legislation at both the federal and
state level, broad professional issues, use of technology,
and management accounting and general business topics. Shorter
technical articles (between 600-1800 words) may also be
appropriate for a specialized audience (e.g., forensic accounting,
tax court decisions, employee benefit planning, New York
State taxation).
We
are also very interested in short pieces, including opinion
pieces, for the News & Views section, which can be any
subject of professional interest to CPAs. We also welcome
personal viewpoints and anecdotes (no more than 1000 words)
as Guest Editorials. Most recently, we have asked our readers
what 'public responsibility' means to them.
Timeliness
of a topic is important. We recommend that authors seeking
to contribute to The CPA Journal on an emerging or
current issue e-mail
or phone the editors to enquire
about specific topics. Broadly speaking, topics in The
CPA Journal generally fall under one of the following
categories:
- Accounting
& Auditing
(Financial Reporting, SEC Reporting, Government Accounting)
- Taxation
(Federal, State & Local, Estates & Trusts, Flow-through
Entities)
- Technology
(Software, Internet, E-Commerce)
- Management
(Human Resources, Controllership, Budgeting, Practice
Development)
- Finance
(Personal Financial Planning, Corporate Finance, Employee
Benefit Plans)
- Responsibilities

From
time to time, topics of particular interest will be listed
in this section. Currently, The CPA Journal is
seeking articles on the following topics:
- Matters
of interest to CPAs in industry
- Management
and corporate governance issues
- Reviews
