Report from the President 1973-74.

Abstract This article is a report from president Robert N. Anthony of the American Accounting Association (AAA), focusing on the activities and achievements of the AAA in the year 1973-74. The association has embarked on a number of continuing education programs, the largest of which is a program to be conducted at approximately 10 universities and designed for teachers of first-year accounting courses, especially in junior and community colleges. A book, "Accounting Education: Problems and Prospects," containing papers by 65 members, has been completed. Its general editor is James Don Edwards. Financed by a grant from the Price Waterhouse Foundation, a broad study of the accounting curriculum beyond the first course has been started. The AAA and the American Institute of CPAs are cooperating in programs aimed at providing financial support for the education of black and other minority accounting faculty members and in aiding accounting instruction in black and other minority schools. Substantial financial support from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare for these programs is being sought.
