“Bold Transformations Toward A Prosperous Society”
The theme of the 2019 Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA is “Bold Transformations Toward A Prosperous Society,” exploring opportunities for accounting and the academy to shape the future.
Business processes, global markets, information exchanges, and higher education are all undergoing radical transformations. The accounting profession, broadly defined, is not immune to the forces behind these changes, and it is being challenged to adopt new technologies, practices, and frameworks to strengthen its role as a foundation to our prosperous society. Sessions at this year’s Annual Meeting will explore the challenges and opportunities facing the accounting profession, with an eye toward implications for the academy. We have the responsibity to inform society to support constructive change and to redesign our programs and institutions to relect the changing enviornment.
Please join us in San Francisco, CA August 9 through August 14, 2019 for the Annual Meeting and Conference on Teaching and Learning (CTLA), and help us to become an even stronger and more impactful association!
