The
Accounting Education Change Commission, formed in 1989 to improve the academic preparation of accountants, allocated funds to a curriculum grant program to encourage experimentation and stimulate curriculum projects that would become prototypes for nongrant accounting programs.
This grant provided support for creation of the
Accounting Education Change Commission (AECC) under the oversight of the American Accounting Association (the academic arm of the accounting profession).
