Ramp Wants to Be the Federal Spend Card, Interview with Mark Koziel

Why are firms prohibiting CPAs from identifying themselves as CPAs? In this episode of The Accounting Podcast, David Leary and I explore this concerning trend with AICPA President Mark Koziel, who explains it's often driven by legal teams worried about mobility issues—not just private equity as many assume.

We also discuss:

  • Ramp's potential $25 million contract to manage federal government spending

  • Economic uncertainty caused by Trump's unpredictable tariff policies

  • Republican plans to eliminate the PCAOB

  • The wave of states creating alternative CPA pathways

Whether you're concerned about the future of the CPA credential or just want to stay informed on the profession's most pressing issues, this episode offers valuable insights you won't want to miss.
