The accounting practitioners/accounting educators dialogue — A short survey

The collective mission of accounting educators in any college or university is to keep the accounting program in-tune with current practices in public accounting, the industrial sector, and in governmental accounting. A Practitioners/Educators Dialogue is one way to meet the challenge of keeping the level of instruction and the accounting program relevant with current practices and standards. This paper reports on a survey of Accounting Department Chairpersons concerning the degree of interest in the concept of a Practitioners/Educators Dialogue Program.
