2008–2009 AAA TASK FORCES
AND TEAMS

Global Initiatives Task Force

Charge:

The American Accounting Association (AAA) has more than 8,400 members and about 20% of the membership is international. The AAA’s strategic plan calls for ambitious growth. This plan, combined with the move toward US adoption of (or convergence with) international financial reporting standards (IFRS), compels the AAA to globalize our organization.

In order to become a more globally-relevant organization, this Task Force will create and evaluate globalization initiatives. The results of the Task Force evaluations will take the form of recommendations (including business plans when necessary) to the Executive Committee.

Members:

New Task Force members are appointed annually by the President.

Meetings:

This Task Force will meet as needed.

Responsibilities:

Fulfill the Task Force charter above.
The Chair prepares and sends a progress report twice every term-year, with deadlines of October 29th 2008 and March 4th 2009, to the Executive Committee Liaison, AAA President, and Executive Director regarding accomplishments or modifications.
