You think execs/boards will think the same of CPAs when every kid and his dog has one? Just because the CMAs/CGAs (CGAs moreso) have lax entry/designation criteria and can churn out members doesn't make them any more knowledgeable. They're the Russian army of the accounting world; just using sheer numbers to attack; but with only 1 of 5 soldiers actually getting a rifle.
Hey, I'm just using what squiggs96 said as to why the CAs want to merge. Its your CA institution telling you guys this, not me. As I said all along, I don't see how any of the 3 designations' members would agree to it. Its not just you CAs that are dead set against it.
