Drawing upon decades of industry transformation, the book offers readers a compelling analysis of why restoring integrity and accountability has become increasingly important in maintaining confidence in financial reporting and public institutions.
In The Crisis in Public Accounting: And the Steps Needed to Reform the Profession, Kravitz traces the profession’s evolution from its longstanding commitment to protecting the public interest to an environment increasingly influenced by global corporate expansion.

Inspired by the profession’s historic mission to safeguard public trust, Kravitz wrote this book to encourage meaningful discussion about the future of public accounting. He reflects on the profession’s foundational principles, including the enduring commitment established by early auditing pioneers, and explains why those values remain essential in an increasingly complex financial landscape. His objective is to highlight opportunities for reform that reinforce ethical responsibility and professional independence.
Beyond documenting the profession’s challenges, the book presents a constructive vision for rebuilding confidence through stronger standards, greater transparency, and renewed dedication to serving the public interest. Kravitz emphasizes that effective auditing extends beyond regulatory compliance by fostering credibility, protecting investors, and supporting the stability of financial markets.
The book is intended for accountants, auditors, financial professionals, business leaders, policymakers, educators, students, and readers interested in corporate governance and financial accountability. By combining historical context with contemporary analysis, Kravitz provides valuable insight into the forces shaping today’s accounting profession while offering practical perspectives on the importance of ethical leadership, independent oversight, and responsible financial reporting.
Richard H. Kravitz brings a thoughtful perspective to one of the most significant issues facing the accounting profession today. Through careful research and analysis, he examines the profession’s historical foundations, its evolving responsibilities, and the reforms necessary to preserve public confidence. His work contributes to the ongoing conversation surrounding financial integrity, professional ethics, and the essential role public accounting plays in supporting transparent and trustworthy economic systems.
