For IPA’s latest Pulse Survey, we reached out to firm leaders in early August to find out how their return to the office was coming along – and whether vaccine mandates would be among those plans.
Thank you to the more than 230 leaders who weighed in with their thoughts and comments. Just over 12% of respondents represented firms over $100 million in net revenue; 11% represented firms from $50 million to $100 million; 27% represented firms in the $20- to $50-million range; and nearly 50% represented firms under $20 million.

But just when things seemed to be progressing back to some degree of normalcy, the Delta variant threw the best-laid plans of many firms back into pandemic limbo.
There is little doubt that firms would like to proceed with their office reopening plans as scheduled, but as the landscape has shifted, one longstanding question is once again very much in play:
How can they do so as safely as possible? You may access the results of the August 2021 INSIDE Public Accounting Pulse Survey “Vaccinations and the Return to the Office” now.
