"Women have accounted for nearly 56% of the workforce exits since the start of the pandemic... across all industries and all professions".

This IWD2021, we look through new research about the challenges facing women in the profession today with Shelly Frazier, a Senior Manager for AICPA & CIMA's Diversity & Inclusion team. Shelly is also staff liaison for the AICPA Women's Initiatives Executive Committee and will be appearing in the forthcoming March 23rd 'Forging The Path' webinar (AICPA & CIMA member discount applies).

Talking Points. 

  • the effects of the pandemic that threaten the progress made by women,
  • the new challenges faced by professional women in the USA.
  • the additional barriers it creates that are unique to them.
  • choosing to challenge - or not.

Navigating the path to becoming a Chartered Global Management Accountant involves more than just technical knowledge-it demands leadership. FLP, the Finance Leadership Podcast, from AICPA & CIMA, is here for that journey. Evolving from the Go Beyond Disruption show in late 2022, this podcast focuses squarely on the Finance Leadership Programme, the innovative route to the CGMA designation. Each episode cuts through the noise to deliver timely, actionable insights and essential updates directly related to the FLP pathway. You’ll hear discussions that help bridge the gap between academic learning and the practical, strategic mindset required of modern finance leaders. Whether you're actively enrolled in the programme or considering it, the conversations here are designed to clarify the process, tackle challenges, and explore what it truly means to lead in finance today. Tune in for a resource that feels less like a formal lecture and more like a regular check-in with experts who understand exactly what you're working toward.
