Perspectives on Education: Capabilities for Success in the Accounting Profession



Perspectives on Education: Capabilities for Success in the Accounting Profession

 

The chief executives of the eight largest public accounting firms take pleasure in sending you their position on education for the accounting profession.

Because of importance of issues discussed in this paper, we are distributing copies to a number of parties concerned with education for accounting. Within academia, we will be forwarding this paper to college and university presidents, deans of business schools, chairmen of accounting departments and accounting faculty. Copies also will be sent to state boards of accountancy, state societies of CPAs and officers of the American Accounting Association, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, Financial Executives Institute and National Association of Accountants. All United States senators and representatives will receive copies, as will officials of interested government agencies.
