Abstract

Pro bono publico work, or voluntary professional service "for the public good," is a hallmark of both the legal and medical professions. With the movement toward professional schools of accounting and increased emphasis on professionalism in accounting education, explicit consideration should be given to the preparation of accounting students for the assumption of public service responsibilities. In this article, the authors propose means for incorporating attention to public service activities and opportunities into the accounting curriculum, and suggest an outline for a course in public interest accounting.
