Abstract

This article explores the reasons for the concern about writing skills in public accounting firms. It assesses the need for writing in large firms, operating in an increasingly competitive environment with new imperatives of client service and business development. It analyzes the specific kinds of writing professional accountants at all levels do, and the extent to which the firms encourage good writing through their training, hiring, and evaluation practices.
