Call for Professor/Practitioner cases.

The AICPA is now accepting proposals for cases under the 2003 Professor/Practitioner Case Development Program. This program is designed to promote collaboration of accounting educators and practitioners (not exclusive to public accounting) in the development of real-world-based cases for use in the accounting classroom. Of particular interest are cases that: address issues or services identified in the CPA visioning process; relate to the new business assurance services that illustrate how the accountant or auditor can add value for an employer or client; tackle blending information technology with financial decision making and new management techniques; deal with the global marketplace and international issues; explore tax issues; address ethics and professional responsibilities; address fraudulent financial reporting and strategies for preventing and detecting fraud; and deal with governmental or nonprofit issues.

Cases should address the competencies identified in the AICPA Core Competency Framework for Entry into the Accounting Profession. These competencies are categorized as functional (technical competencies most closely aligned with the value contributed by accounting professionals), personal (individual attributes and values) and broad business perspective competencies (relating to understanding of internal and external business contexts). Cases should take an integrative approach that recognizes related issues that may cross over tradi-tional accounting courses or disciplinary boundaries.

Case proposals are due Dec. 1, 2002. For information and application:
