U.S. News & World Report teams up with Bisk Education and CPEasy to survey accountants nationwide on the current economic crisis and other hot industry topics

TAMPA, Fla., June 16, 2009 — As part of an industry that is closely tied to and deeply affected by the nation's economy, CPAs have been provided an open platform by U.S. News & World Report to voice their opinions about the current economic recession, rapidly changing regulations and related financial topics.

American taxpayers want to know the accounting professionals side of the story on today's hottest issues. Responses to the poll will be included in a national news forum published by U.S. News & World Report.

It only takes a few minutes to take part in the poll. CPAs can log into the poll at with the user name: usnewscpa and password: accountant.

Once logged in CPAs will be asked thought-provoking questions, such as:

  • What kind of influence will the new administration have on the accounting industry?
  • Could the accounting profession have prevented today's financial crisis?
  • Who or what is most responsible for the global economic crisis?
  • Some industry bloggers contend that auditors should be taking more responsibility for the financial crisis. Do you agree?
