And some CPAs say the 150-hour college credit requirement needs to change - Fortune    There’s an accountant shortage—and now some CPAs think it’s time to tweak the educational requirements to boost the path’s appeal.  “The shortage is affecting firms of all sizes,” Bob Cedergren, CPA, partner at Wipfli LLP in Minneapolis, and board chair of the Minnesota Society of CPAs (MNCPA), tells me. But the shortage has “a large impact on CPA firms in smaller towns or more rural areas as they have difficulty attracting and retaining staff,” Cedergren says.  In the past two years, more than 300,000 U.S. accountants and auditors have left their jobs, a 17% decline, the Wall Street Journal reported. Many baby boomers who are accountants are retiring. However, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that accountants in the 25-to-34-year-old age range and mid-career professionals ages 45 to 54 are also leaving the profession, according to SHRM. And in 2022, the number of candidates who took the Uniform CPA Examination was about 67,000, which is down from 72,000 in 2021. Continued here Ukrainian Brigades Were Advancing. Then They Ran Low On Bridgelayers. - Forbes    We don’t know exactly how many Soviet-vintage armored bridgelayers the Ukrainian army had before Russia widened its war on Ukraine 19 months ago. We do know roughly how many AVLBs the Ukrainians have gotten from their foreign allies: at least 45, mostly from Germany and the United States. But we don’t know for sure whether the Russians have destroyed any of these bridgelayers. What we can say for sure is, however many AVLBs the Ukrainians have—it’s too few. During a critical phase of an important fight in southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblasts back in June, a quartet of Ukrainian brigades had to halt their assault because the Russians had retreated across a stream, and there was just one available bridgelayer. That’s one of the many surprising details in the latest report from analysts Jack Watling and Nick Reynolds from the Royal United Services Institute in London. Their description of the battles for Novodarivka and Rivnopil identifies some of the most important dynamics shaping Ukraine’s 2023 counteroffensive, which kicked off outside Novodarivka and other Russian-occupied southern settlements on June 4.
