Scopes and Aims of Symposium
The Professionalism and Ethics Committee of the American Accounting
Association invites papers and suggestions for panel discussions on ethics
in the academic setting and how to teach ethics, including approaches,
teaching materials, courses and assessment. The Symposium seeks original
contributions of applied research and theoretical explorations of ethical
issues that are raised in the academic environment. The primary goals of
the Symposium are: (1) to generate dialogue on the teaching of ethics to
accounting students; (2) to collect teaching materials, especially course
outlines and case studies that can be shared with other educators; and
(3) to stimulate scholarship about how to teach ethics to accounting students
and the implications of ethics instruction for the accounting profession.
Papers which address ethical issues in an academic setting, including institutional
as well as individual issues, are welcome.
Publication Opportunities
At the authorís choice, papers submitted to the conference will
be considered for publication in Accounting Education: A Journal of

in the Journal. Only the best papers will be published in the Journal and
the final decision on publication rests with the editors.
