Building bridges challenges CAAA

Article Abstract:

The Canadian Academic Accounting Association's (CAAA's) 16th annual conference featured a discussion on the issue of changes in education. Recession, economic globalization and changing societal attitudes toward the environment and technology are deemed the impetus for educational change. Academics must be conscious of business needs and be able to translate research language to suit the needs of practitioners. Accounting graduates are urged to develop skills necessary to meet clients' needs. Furthermore, technical areas in education must be minimized to meet the growing needs of industry.
