Abstract This article presents views of the author on various activities carried by the American Accounting Association in the year 1953. According to the author this has been an active year for the American Accounting Association. It has gone forward on many fronts to meet not only the objectives set out for ourselves but the responsibilities which it must assume. The work of the Association this year has been based upon the recognition that accounting education with all of its ramifications is the primary task of our group. As steps toward accomplishing this purpose it has reorganized the committee structure, expanded accounting research efforts and increased attention to Association publications. Association activities have been carried on by many members. The activities of the association in the past few years expose problems for the future course of the Association and in doing so they reveal some of the challenges of the future. The Association must be a vital force of leadership in developing and integrating accounting education and research within the widening responsibilities of the accounting profession.
