Cybersecurity and AI and Supreme Court cases, oh my!

The past year in accounting has seen its fair share of triumphs, pitfalls, technological advances and overall internal changes. In this week’s quick poll, we sought to find which of these developments was most important to Ohio's accounting professionals. Answer options included:

• The shedding of the stale image and increased visibility
• Increasing cybersecurity concerns
• South Dakota vs. Wayfair

The most popular answer in our non-scientific poll was South Dakota vs. Wayfair, with 50% of the votes. Next came cybersecurity concerns, with 38%. “The shedding of the stale image and increased visibility” won the proverbial bronze with 13% of the vote.
