[Tall-Corn] FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] Participants needed for data analysis research at NFB national convention

[Michael D. Barber]

The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our
research mission.
 
Do you work in data all day? Do you dream of spreadsheets and hold a special
place in your heart for Excel? Then the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (AICPA) needs your analytical mind at the NFB National
Convention!
The value of data analytics and related concepts has increased within the
accounting profession. Future CPAs need to evolve their skillsets, including
visually-impaired professionals who may have unique needs when performing
data-related tasks.
To better understand the impact this may have on the future of the Uniform
CPA ExaminationR, we will conduct a study that requires a select group of
NFB members who work in financial-related or data-heavy fields. Through
interviews to be held during the NFB Convention, we hope to identify the
unique needs of those who work with data. The information we collect will
determine the best approach for future assessments of data manipulation and
the analysis of large data sets.
