Accounting burns brightly at Glen Burnie High
"The (Glen Burnie) High School presentation yesterday went very well. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Mr. Newman's two classes! The students were very lively and had lots of questions about what the accounting career is like, different places that accountants work, whether the work is very difficult, if the focus is totally on math, and questions about the CPA exam. Several of them filled out the application for Tomorrow's CPA student membership! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to talk with them!"
— Felicia Diggs, Marriott International

Auditor's report: Written communication issued by an independent CPA describing the character of his or her work and the degree of responsibility taken. An auditor's report includes a statement that the audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS), which require that the auditor plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, as well as a statement that the auditor believes the audit provides a reasonable basis for his or her opinion.
