2009–2010 AAA COMMITTEES
Regulation Committee
Charge:
Conduct activities to promote and facilitate analysis, discussion and debate on various aspects of financial, accounting, auditing, and independence regulation. This includes actions, as well as lack of actions, by federal, state, multi-national, as well as independent regulatory bodies (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, AICPA, IFAC, and the state attorneys general). Specifically:
- Organize forums and activities to analyze and discuss the decisions, proposals, and actions of regulators in collaboration with the AAA Annual Meeting Program Committee and the Sections and Regions of the AAA. Collaboration with Auditing, FARS, and International sections and the mid-year meetings of the regions could be especially helpful. These sessions could include academic papers, roundtable discussions (including members of the SEC, PCAOB, and Congress, etc.) or debates among interested parties. Preferably, current topics of interest will be explored, analyzed and debated.
- Use the AAA Commons to inform the AAA membership of significant regulatory developments, including periodic reports by the various SEC Academic Accounting Fellows in AAA newsletters.
- Help the SEC and other regulators in their efforts to recruit academic fellows and to provide continuing education.
