TRUTH CAN BE STRANGER
April 29, 2005
Tax Analysts today has an article on the use of fiction in teaching accounting (no link available):
The use of fiction as an educational tool might aid in meeting many of the objectives and criticisms of recent examinations of accounting education. For example, the American Accounting Association Committee on the Future Structure, Content, and Scope of Accounting Education (the Bedford Committee, named for its chair, Norton Bedford), in its 1986 report entitled Issues in Accounting Education, indicated that public accounting was changing to demand more innovative individuals and therefore, accounting education programs should develop creativity and innovation in students.
That's a start. The next step is to train accountants that truth and fiction can be different things, and which one belongs on financial statements.
