What International Women’s Day means for an ascending accountant

Wassia Kamon, CPA, a member of AICPA & CIMA’s Women’s Initiatives Executive Committee (WIEC), emphasises the interplay between gender equity, representation, and establishing yourself as a leader in this podcast episode celebrating International Women’s Day. Kamon discloses how seeing gender representation early in her career helped her find her voice at work while balancing study and family commitments. She also explains why women often endure “subconscious” doubts when it comes recognising their worth as a leader. International Women’s Day this year is on Saturday 8 March. What you’ll learn from this episode: Why more women are climbing the ladder in the profession. Gender representation’s impact on work culture. The relationship between hybrid work and equal opportunities. How the WIEC engages and empowers women in finance. The convergence of underrepresentation and impostor syndrome.
