Core Purpose and Vision Statement
Over two days in January 1998, 57 delegates to the National Future Forum reviewed the database of national top five values, services, competencies and issues as identified in the Future Forums held across the country from September to December 1997. Delegates to the National Future Forum developed initial drafts of the core purpose and vision statement for the CPA profession in 2011.
The Core Purpose and Vision Statement are the heart of the Vision Process being presented to a wide range of audiences, including CPAs attending conferences sponsored by state CPA societies, the AICPA and a number of other organizations.
CORE PURPOSE: CPAs … Making sense of a changing and complex world.

their future. Combining insight with integrity, CPAs deliver value by …
— Communicating
the total picture with clarity and objectivity,

and creating opportunities, and
— Designing
pathways that transform vision into reality.
