Abstract:

In this study, we explore the role of formalized strategic planning in the accounting profession in Canada. We ask the question is there a process of examining the most important strategic objectives facing a professional accounting organization. Specifically, we examine what factors impact the strategic planning process of the accounting profession. Using a comprehensive case study, developed in conjunction with one of the provincial accounting organizations in Canada over a ten month period, we examine those factors that are critical to the strategic performance of the accounting profession using a participatory approach.
