Although it was nearly universally acknowledged that black Americans should have greater opportunities enter the CPA profession, agreement on the best strategy accomplish that goal was elusive. Even among black accountants, there was not a clear consensus in favor of a national organization such as NABA. * An early goal was better preparation of accounting students; through such programs as CPA Bound and the Center for Advancement of Accountants, NABA helped open the pipeline for young professionals. Through its Division of Firms, it also has sought provide networking opportunities for black-owned firms. * Today, in conjunction with other groups such as the AICPA's Minorities Initiatives Committee, NABA continues cultivate young as well as work on related issues, such as retention of African Americans and other minorities within the ********** From seeds sown 40 years ago this month in a gathering of accountants in the living room of CPA Frank Ross, the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) has grown more than 50 professional and 150 student chapters nationwide. To succeed, it has had reach consensus on its goals and identity internally and within the larger accounting THE INITIAL YEARS One precursor that initial meeting of what would become NABA was the effort by one of the nation's relatively few practicing black CPAs, Bert N. Mitchell, quantify and call attention the dearth of African-American accountants and CPAs, particularly within white-owned firms. He revealed his findings in a 1969 Journal of Accountancy article (The Black in the CPA Profession, Oct. 69, page 41). Mitchell surveyed 104 firms and the 136 African-American he was able identify. Representatives at the 52 firms that replied said that out of the 27,481 professionals those firms employed, only 404 were from minority groups, including 108 blacks. Black representation at the partner level in these firms was virtually nonexistent. Mitchell said many firms recognized the need for more inclusive hiring and were taking remedial steps, but a greater commitment was needed make training and employment opportunities available minorities. He noted favorably steps by the AICPA's new biracial Committee on Recruitment from Groups, later renamed the Initiatives Committee (see sidebar, Minority Initiatives Committee Celebrates Four Decades). Mitchell advocated a greater role in the profession for black CPAs, but he did not specifically suggest a new national association. In fact, he said that black respondents rejected the idea of a separate national professional association of black CPAs by a margin of 57 25. FORMULATORS OF THE VISION Mindful of that desire by African-American open the profession minorities while working with and within established professional organizations, about 16 New York-area accountants met on a Sunday in early December 1969 at Ross' home in the Bronx. The precipitating event was the filing of a civil rights lawsuit by the city of New York against the six of what were then the Big Eight accounting firms that had headquarters there, Ross recounts in his 2006 memoir Quiet Guys Can Do Great Things, Too. The accountants' purpose at that first meeting, however, was open-ended: to discuss the unique challenges and limited opportunities they faced in the accounting profession. The group soon coalesced into nine founding members. …" @default.
