In the continuation of our objective to increase the emphasis on ethics in the accounting classroom, we wish to apprize the membership of the AAA of suitable teaching materials that are available for widespread use. The Centre for Accounting Ethics, School of Accountancy University of Waterloo has 42 accounting ethics cases available on the Internet at http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/ACCT/ethics (click on CASES) and in hard copy. These 42 cases include 11 cases describing ethical situations accounting students may encounter themselves, 5 tax cases, 11 cases from public practice, 9 cases related to management accounting and 12 cases from the non-profit sector (some cases are included in more than one category). Teaching notes are available in hard copy.

Monographs examining "Ethics and Positive Accounting Theory" and the "Foundation of Business Ethics" as well as other materials including an Accounting Ethics Bibliography are also available.

These materials may be reproduced for use in the classroom at no charge but the copyright of the Centre for Accounting Ethics must be acknowledged. The materials are available to the membership of the AAA at the cost of printing the material (which is approximately $20 for each of the publications) plus shipping and handling. These materials are available to Canadian academics at no charge under the terms of the grant.

Funding for the development and distribution of these materials was provided by the Alberta Accounting and Auditing Development Fund.
