Auditing

Objectives
The purpose of the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association is to give greater attention to the area of auditing. To fulfill this purpose, the Section has established objectives in three areas:

1. Education—to discuss, test, and disseminate various ways of teaching auditing and audit-related topics:
   a. To foster the development and study of teaching methods and aids, and to give publicity thereto;
   b. To review and evaluate teaching materials submitted for such purposes; and
   c. In general, to strive to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of instruction in this area.
2. Research—encourage, facilitate, and publicize research interests and projects in the audit area:
   a. To communicate interests, intentions, and actual work-in-process in the area and, if possible, assist in obtaining seed money;
   b. To identify areas in need of research;
   c. To give opportunity for public exposure of research results through Association sessions (annual, regional, and special sessions devoted solely to auditing) and publications (including working papers and a separate journal for auditing).
3. Profession—to create an opportunity for closer association between the profession and those who instruct in the field:
   a. To provide a medium through which each can become better acquainted with the other’s problems and | successes;
   b. To create, in general, a better climate for interchange between the two groups; and
   c. To offer a formal medium through which greater cooperation may be achieved.
