Abstract The 1968-69 committee on the Role of the Computer in Accounting Education investigated the role of the computer in accounting education. In its deliberations the committee considered instruction about the computer, the blending of computer instruction into regular accounting courses, the use of the computer as an aid to instruction, and research related to computers and accounting. The report contains a short section on each of these topics. The committee also assembled some materials relating to these topics which have been included in an appendix. The field is moving too rapidly for this report to be the last word on the computer in accounting education. It is one of series of continuing efforts which are needed in order to make and keep accounting instruction relevant to a processing environment that is becoming computerized at a very rapid rate.
