Abstract
During the midst of the most desperate struggle America has ever known, the nation’s taxsystem underwent drastic change. To facilitate this change, the United States needed men ofintegrity, ability, and leadership – and accountants rallied to the cause. Through no act of compulsion, other than patriotic zeal, the accounting profession responded by lobbying for tax simplification, and time extensions, while laboring tirelessly to educate preparers, the taxpaying public, and congressional authorities.
