AAA Holds PQ Program
April 19, 2008
FEI Summary
On April 19, 2008, the American Accounting Association (AAA) held a program in New York City for professionals interested in becoming Professionally Qualified (PQ) to teach accounting at the college level. The PQ designation is to help offset the shortage of PhD's who are Academically Qualified (AQ) to teach, and to add more practical insights to the classroom from professionals who have significant experience in accounting, audit or tax.
Co-chairs of the program were Kevin Stocks, Director, School of Accountancy and W. Steve Albrecht Professor of Accounting at Brigham Young University, and Susan Crosson, Professor and Coordinator of Accounting, Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville, FL.
For information about dates/locations or other information regarding future AAA PQ programs, contact Deirdre Harris, Member Relations and Marketing Manager, at the American Accounting Association (AAA), deirdre@aaahq.org.
FEI helped promote the AAA's PQ program through Financial Executive Magazine, as well as FEI's electronic newsletter FEI Express, website and blog.
FEI, the professional association of 15,000 senior financial executives, also has a special membership category for academics (associate professors and above). By becoming an FEI member, academics benefit by receiving the practical research reports published by the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF) - the research affiliate of FEI - at no cost, and are entitled to reduced rates to attend FEI conferences and programs, such as FEI's Global Financial Reporting Convergence Conference ("The World is Moving to IFRS - Are You?) June 5, 2008 (see www.financialexecutives.org/ifrs) , and FEI's Current Financial Reporting Issues Conference in November.
