Objectives

The purpose of the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association is to give greater attention to the area of auditing. To fulfill this purpose, the Section has established objectives in three areas:


Education—to discuss, test, and disseminate various ways of teaching auditing and audit-related topics.


Research—to encourage, facilitate, and publicize research interests and projects in the audit area.


Profession—to create an opportunity for closer association between the profession and those who instruct in the field.
