TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN ACCOUNTING IN TURKEY.
Abstract
The work described above with the Turkish accountants represents only one phase of the technical assistance rendered by the American advisers. The American advisers are also teaching in Turkish educational institutions. In these institutions their responsibilities include the development of new accounting courses and the preparation of better teaching materials. These functions are extremely important, but the most rewarding work has come from working with the Turkish accountants who now have the means in their hand to organize and advance the profession of accounting. During the trying periods of this work the American advisers had the constant encouragement of the Heads of the NYU Group in Ankara, namely, Dr. Henry Stanford, now President, Birmingham-Southern College; Professor Lorentz Adolfson, Director of Extension Division, University of Wisconsin; and Donald MacDonald, formerly Chief of Public Services, International Cooperation Administration, Ankara. If anything has been accomplished in Turkey it is due to the assistance of these men and their understanding of the many problems.
