The driving force behind this project was the perceived problems of the company audit following the collapse of Enron and WorldCom, together with their auditors, Arthur Andersen. The problems with the audit include the so called ‘expectations gap’ between what the public believe the audit is for – mainly to uncover fraud - and what the accountants claim to deliver, together with the commercial pressures on the independence of auditors.

The project set out to generate data via questionnaires and interviews with American accountants which would throw light on these issues. The results identify and quantify changes in for example: the social and educational background and training of American CPAs; their audit techniques; their opinions as to the purpose of the audit; their relationships with their clients; their attitudes to and explanations for the recent scandals, and to the regulatory regime in the US. The data will also allow comparisons with British accountants based on similar previous research.

Main Topics:

The questionnaire programme used the commercial internet survey – Zoomerang. 14,000 AICPA members selected at random were e-mailed, 805 responses to the 87 questions were received (including from accountants born pre-first world war) and entered on a spreadsheet. The 29 interviews conducted include both the leaders and the rank and file of the American profession past and present: those who worked in practice and those in industry; also the current and all previous chairmen of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and some leading lights on the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the International Accounting Standards Board; the present chairman of the AICPA, and the CEOs of the Big 4 accounting firms.

The data collected by the project, is both statistical (based on box ticking in the questionnaire) and qualitative (based on written replies to the questionnaire and the transcribed interviews) in nature, and represents a rich primary source which throws light historically and at the present time on a profession which continues in the public spotlight.

This dataset represents Children’s Play Areas (CPAs) in NYC Parks. Each CPA is a designated space featuring play equipment specifically designed for children and is mapped as a central point (Point geometry) within a park property. While commonly known as playgrounds, the term "playground" is avoided because some properties or subproperties labeled as "playgrounds" may include features like adult fitness equipment or handball and basketball courts and may not contain play equipment for children. Explore the Data Dictionary Note: The schema and methodology of the dataset was updated in 2024, replacing the previous version from 2019. Play equipment is tracked via the Parks Inspection Program. Parks that are currently rated by the Parks Inspection Program and contain play equipment are considered active Children's Play Areas.

Strong economic rebound, technological acceleration and the continued necessity for quality accounting services bolstered payroll and bookkeepers demand, particularly among small businesses and self-employed individuals. Established companies such as Intuit Inc. continue to invest more in their automated servicing technology, which offers improved efficiency in payroll processes and allows servicers to reduce operational expenses amid heightened inflation. Strong corporate sentiment and overall business growth expanded the quantity of clients available within the open market, creating more opportunities for localized bookkeepers in concentrated areas like New York City. These trends caused overall revenue to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% to an estimated $82.1 billion over the past five years, including an estimated 2.9% boost in 2025 alone. Profit has also grown strongly, with heightened business interest generating more lucrative opportunities within the financial and health services sectors. The expansion of cloud-based solutions continues to become increasingly popular, making payroll services more accessible and flexible. At the same time, the rise of smaller, tech-savvy players has increased competition and reduced the market share concentration of established providers. With an evolving regulatory landscape and greater threats of data theft, many payroll servicers continue to invest in stronger cybersecurity measures aimed at meeting the latest compliance standards and safeguarding clients’ data. Established companies are also expanding their market offering and strengthening existing service lines, as evident with Paychex’s acquisition of Paycor in January 2025. Moving forward, servicers are poised for further technological disruption in the next five years that will impact their performance. Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning are likely to further streamline payroll processes and reduce the need for manual intervention. With the growing trend toward self-employment and remote work, companies will need to offer more flexible and mobile-friendly solutions to meet the changing needs of their clients. Nonetheless, the high costs associated with adoption of automated technology and the constant need for professional payroll service employees to handle more complex bookkeeping tasks will curtail large-scale growth. Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% to an estimated $94.8 billion over the next five years.
