A history of U.S. higher education in accounting, part II: reforming accounting within the academy

Article Abstract:

Efforts to change accounting education focused on the movement towards schools of accountancy during the 1970s were unsuccessful. American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) members passed a rule requiring 150 hours of education for AICPA membership as a result of movements to extend accounting education above four years of undergraduate study. Since the efforts by the Accounting Education Change Commission and the AICPA to reform higher education in accounting were forestalled in the 1990s, reforms regarding accounting education have been led by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy.
