The Accounting Review Vol. 45 No. 3 1970
President's Report.
Abstract
The article presents several observations on the philosophy, plans, activities and status of the American Accounting Association for 1969 to 1970 year report. The Executive Committee of the Association has directed the President to render an annual report to the membership on Association activities. Resulting from these objectives were new Association Committees dealing with the foundations of accounting measurement, methods of theory construction and verification, non-financial measures of effectiveness, socio-economic accounting, and auditing concepts. In addition, committees in the area of education were directed to the behavioral science and quantitative aspects of the accounting curriculum. Reports from these and the continuing committees of the Association in the areas of financial and managerial accounting are expected by the time of the annual meeting at the University of Maryland, August 17-19, 1970. The Association continues to grow. Membership exceeds 15,000 of which 3,000 are student associate members. The enthusiasm and interest of the membership in Association activities is probably the most gratifying experience accruing to the President during his term of office.
