Abstract

The Pathways Commission started work in 2010 to develop and implement recommendations to improve accounting education and to attract high-quality diverse entrants to the accounting profession. This project utilizes oral history techniques and recorded interviews to investigate the perceptions of success regarding Pathways from participants in the effort. Structured interview techniques contributed to findings regarding successes and disappointments related to Pathways from 25 contributors to Pathways, including three AAA past presidents, a former Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission, past presidents of AACSB, NASBA, and the Institute of Internal Auditors, and other representatives from industry, accounting practice, and academia. Recorded interviews will be published through the Library of the Accounting Profession at the University of Mississippi.
