0.5 Acknowledgments
In undertaking this monograph, we relied extensively on the work of scholars in several related fields. Their work is acknowledged in the references listed at the end of the book. Members of the sponsoring Accounting Education Change Commission were helpful in developing and supporting the monograph. We are particularly grateful to Doyle Z. Williams, former chairman and executive director of the AECC; Richard E. Flaherty, current executive director; James Loebbecke, chair of monograph review committee; Mel O'Connor, our liaison with the AECC; and Jan Williams, Director of Education of the American Accounting Association and AECC member. We also appreciate the helpful editorial suggestions of AECC member Katherine Schipper, and ideas and encouragement offered by Professors Doris de Lespinasse, Adrian College; Thomas Frecka, Notre Dame; and Rob Ingram and colleagues at the University of Alabama. Linda Stiles, who prepared the manuscript, was again an invaluable and much appreciated assistant and colleague.
