Policies and Procedures Manual

General and Financial

The American Accounting Association through its many programs seeks to promote worldwide excellence in accounting education, research, and practice.

Sections and Regions provide the most valued AAA services to many members. These services include the full range of meetings, hard-copy and electronic publications, awards, peer review, faculty development opportunities, and other activities. AAA services are also provided through committees and other structures.

This administrative manual sets forth recommended methods for Section, Region, Group, and other members working with Association staff to support these varied activities.

One of the AAA’s strengths is the degree of autonomy exercised by Sections and Regions, within broad policy guidelines set by the Executive Committee and Council.

This manual is intended to provide guidance and information to assist members in meeting the responsibilities of their volunteer offices. The true value of Section, Region, and other Association programs and activities comes from the contributions of these program chairs, editors, volunteers, and officers of Sections, Regions, and the AAA as a whole.

Where this manual is unclear or omits coverage, please let us know. The AAA headquarters exists to help you design and implement successful programs and activities, so we are very interested to learn of ways we might improve services for Section and Region leaders.
