Quick Take
Women in Accounting
Women are 49.4% of all auditors, accountants, and investment professionals in Canada. Women are 61.3% of all accountants and auditors in the United States.
High-potential women advance more slowly than their male peers, in terms of both career progression and pay, even though they employ career management strategies similar to men’s. Organizations that neglect this critical talent-management issue risk lagging their competitors in attracting, developing, and retaining the best candidates to serve as the next generation of leaders.
