National Automated Accounting Research System - A Challenge For Auditing Education.

Abstract The National Automated Accounting Research System (NAARS) was developed through joint efforts of the AICPA and Mead Data Central, Inc. to provide accounting practitioners with computer-assisted capability for research of accounting and auditing problems. This paper describes the educational benefits, learning objectives, and instructional approach associated with providing auditing students at both the Bachelor's and Master's levels the opportunity to perform accounting and auditing research with NAARS.
