Top Seven Issues - 2012 1. Information overload (including accounting and tax
complexity) 2. Work / life balance 3. Generational issues and communications (including upper
management not sharing knowledge with the younger generation)
4. Developing networking skills 5. Keeping up with technology -- especially the cloud 6. Finding career guidance 7. Understanding social media benefits
