Apprehension, Opportunity and the Future: Private Equity in Accounting

Private equity is reshaping the accounting profession—fueling growth and modernization for some firms, while raising concerns for others.

Together, they will tackle a key question many firm leaders are asking: Can private equity catalyze transformation, and what does it mean for cultural and structural dynamics?
