Abstract
A number of influential professional bodies have called recently for fundamental change in business education in this country. In accounting, some of the more notable challenges to educators are contained in the “Bedford Committee” report of the American Accounting Association (AAA, 1986), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Education Requirements for Entry into the Accounting Profession (AICPA, 1988), various position statements of the Accounting Education Change Commission (AECC) (e.g., 1990, 1992), and the “white paper” issued by the (then) Big Eight public accounting firms (Perspectives on Education, 1989).
