Take the following as truth: During the past decade the AICPA and many accounting firms put too much emphasis on how they could grow their top line, bottom line, and earnings through pushing non-audit/consulting services and not enough time modernizing attest and assurance services that represent the franchise for CPAs on which the public relies.
Then the following statement: "Too much emphasis was put on growing their earnings by AICPA." is true, false, or inconclusive?
