Introduction
Thank you for participating in this survey. By taking part in the 2026 AICPA & CIMA Caregiving in the Accounting Profession Survey, under the oversight of a collaborative group of stakeholders, and the AICPA Women’s Initiatives Executive Committee, your insights will help us better understand how caregiving responsibilities influence career experiences, workplace support needs, and retention across the accounting and finance professions and in all practice areas.
The AICPA will use the insights gained to create practical resources, tools and guidance that help individuals and employers navigate caregiving responsibilities effectively, fostering workplaces where people can thrive while contributing to organizational success.
For this survey, caregiving includes providing ongoing care, assistance, coordination, or support for children, aging family members, spouses/partners, friends, chosen family, or others who depend on you. This survey is inclusive of caregivers of all genders and seeks to understand a wide range of caregiving experiences across different personal and professional circumstances.
All responses will be kept confidential and reported only in aggregate.
