From www.journalofaccountancy.com: (US context) A bipartisan bill in the House of Representatives, the Accounting STEM Pursuit Act of 2025, seeks to include accounting in the STEM education program to enhance access for underrepresented students.

The AICPA supports this initiative, acknowledging the alignment of accounting with STEM values and its potential to elevate the profession’s visibility and encourage a diverse talent pipeline.

This recognition would affirm the profession’s relevance in today’s technology-driven business landscape and broaden opportunities for students in accounting careers.
