Dave CDon't try soften what you previously wrote....re-read some of things you wrote:
There's good reason for a healthy distrust of the CA profession. I'm not saying that it's inevitably fraudulent, but it does tend to take care of its own & there is plenty of room for error.
Part of the reason I exited that profession was some of the stuff I saw. Mostly it was because of boredom with looking over shoulders. (there is more to being a CA than audit.....at least moreso now than in the 80s)
For clarity - what do you mean by "take care." If you pay professional dues and are part of a professional association one would expect that you receive some benefit from that - but I believe you are implying that the profession protects wrong-doers from appropriate consequences.
And, when did I state things in black and white terms - I fully admitted that every profession has its share of bad apples.
I do agree with the comments on the professional development - although I feel continuous learning is useful, if you have your own business, it can be a nuisance.
