Description
Summary:This research sets off to find out how client firms go about selecting their Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms- who are involved in the selection process, how influential each member is and what qualities they look out for in their CPAs. Previous researches have beeen conducted in these areas, but none have been done in the local context. Hence, this report sets out to investigate if the findings hold true locally, highlighting areas of difference. In doing this, we hope to be able to understand clients' needs in order that CPA firms can better service their current and prospective clients. As graduating students of the School of Accountancy and Business (SAB), it is our hope too that this research will give us a head start into understanding and preparing ourselves for the challenge of dealing with clients and their needs.
