Tom Hood, CPA/CITP, CGMA, executive vice president–Business Growth and Engagement at AICPA & CIMA, understands why accounting skills are often ranked outside the top five of key skills in informal polling of finance audiences.

“It’s not because they're less important, but because the other skills are more important,” Hood said.

The core requirements remain, but the ability to adapt and add new skills has grown in importance with the pace of transformation accelerating.

In this episode of the JofA podcast, Hood expands on some recent themes of his travels and what he looks forward to from the Future of Finance Summit in December.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

· Why mindset is more important in transformation than the toolset of technology.

· Details of a recent report about skills from the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs.

· The skills that rank ahead of the “table stakes” of technical accounting skills.

· Why it’s important to “grab these new skills.”

· The new way that Future of Finance Summit attendees will get a summary of the event.
