2007–2008 AAA TASK FORCE COMMITTEES

RESEARCH IMPACT
TASK FORCE COMMITTEE

Charge:

The charge of the TF is to seek evidence to support an evaluation of the impact that contemporary academic research has in practice.

Task Force is to investigate and profile the impact of academic research in broad and in specific terms, upon practice and the practice community, including financial, audit, and tax practice. The period of time of the focus relates to the post PHD requirement period as established for accreditation purposes in l969.

The development and change in research practices and agenda in the community of PHD accounting academics is a central theme of the investigation of research impact by accounting academics. Further the implications of research data quality and availability should be evaluated to the extent practicable in the period of the task force's activity. The TF should plan on preparing a report on a timely basis with a draft no later than May 15, 2008.

Further a concurrent session proposal for the annual meeting of the association should be considered if the task force activities warrant such a presentation.

A preliminary report should be provided in time for the AAA leadership to report progress on the task in time for the December 10 2007 Summit of Accounting Organizations.

We are widely recognized as great suppliers of talent to the profession. We want to develop a piece to emphasize that we are also important suppliers of ideas as well.
