Abstract
The accounting profession's desire to enhance entry-level communication skills is evident in a revised Certified Public Accountant examination (CPA exam) and a continued push for a revamped accounting curriculum. This paper will describe the need for effective communication skills in the accounting profession and the efforts of accounting educators and CPA exam designers to improve the communication skills of accountants entering the field. I discuss the possibilities that revised curricula and examination practices could improve the overall abilities of future CPA candidates. However, I argue that the accounting industry must identify itself as a profession of communication to solve the overarching communication problems.
