Members warned about calls from "AICPA employee" looking for firm staff names.

The AICPA has learned that during the past few months, someone posing as an AICPA employee has been contacting accounting firms claiming to need a list of the firm's employees under various pretenses (e.g., internal auditors on staff to send them a package). The Institute suspects this person is a headhunter attempting to obtain firm names, titles and phone numbers for use in recruitment efforts. Be assured the caller has no affiliation with the AICPA. If you receive such a call, advise Jay Rothberg, vice president, at 201/938-6005.
