AIA White Paper: Reflections on Accounting Education post Andersen June 8, 2004

"Three companies fund an accounting think tank," by Tony Tinker, 14 October 2003

Mission Statement

Whereas the integrity of the accounting profession is premised on individuals who acknowledge their responsibility to maintain expertise, to exercise independence of thought and action, and to serve and be guardians of the public interest; and

Whereas the influence of corporate pressures on professional standards have eroded and compromised this integrity;

The mission of the Association for Integrity in Accounting is to provide an independent forum to present and advance positions on a wide range of critical accounting and auditing issues, standards and regulations affecting the accountability and integrity of the profession and the public interest in maintaining trust and confidence in accounting.

The Association for Integrity in Accounting includes members, domestic and international, from private, public, and academic accounting (as well as students and others) interested in the advancement of accounting to support a more informed public.
