This article discusses several issues related to the accounting professions in the U.S. Lawyers traditionally have worked in tandem with CPAs and other professionals, such as physicians, architects, investment bankers, financial planners, economists, lobbyists and brokers. Complex nonlegal areas required the assistance of CPAs and others to bring the necessary interdisciplinary skills to client problems. However, during the 1980s, law firms increasingly began to supply new services by hiring CPAs or other professionals to provide the expertise necessary for complex nonlegal issues affecting their clients. Some examples already in operation include one law firm with an established investment banking operation, another with an architectural and design consulting service, and others with financial planning centers and even accounting services. Lawyers who favor diversification assert it allows them better control and greater efficiency if these services are maintained in-house. Others, even within the legal profession, have suggested the trend toward diversification is primarily profit oriented. INSET: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. |
