EDUCATION FOR PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANCY.
The article discusses various aspects of professional accountancy. The discipline means the vocation of accountancy, whether practiced in the private or the public field. Accountancy is said to take pride in calling itself a profession. The specific problem to which this article addresses itself is the organization of a curriculum or course of training for professional accountancy. It should be pointed out that in the first place, the building of a curriculum is essentially a scholastic undertaking, and in the second place, that a large part of the work of a professional man or of a business executive is of necessity pedagogical in character, in that he is always faced with the task of training staff men to a proper understanding and performance of their tasks. Thus, the practitioner, as well as the pedagog, should be interested in the development of curricula and courses of training. The article presents a curriculum to address different activities of the profession. It also says that in building a curriculum, some attention must always be given to the lines of probable future development of the profession.
