"While the basics of professions and professionalism have long been established, it is crucial to revisit them regularly. In this important and timely work, Margreeth Kloppenburg, Thijs Jansen and their colleagues consider how the profession of accountancy can continue its critical work in a time of rapid change, powerful market forces, and often disruptive technological innovations"
