NASBA Announces Up to $25,000 in Accounting Research Grants

NASBA’s Accounting Education Research Grants Program seeks to advance research on educational issues impacting the certified public accountants (CPA), the public accounting profession and state boards’ charge to protect the public.

Research grants are available yearly for faculty and postdoctoral researchers at institutions of higher education. The grants are competitive. Research in areas helping NASBA and state boards of accountancy protect the public and be better resources to the public accounting profession are encouraged. NASBA will work with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the American Accounting Association (AAA) and other organizations to present and publish results of the funded research.

Research interests of NASBA include, but are not limited to:

• Characteristics of successful CPA candidates,
• Ideal or model curricula for successful CPA candidates,
• Effective sections or rules of code of professional conduct to protect the public,
• Characteristics of the best work experience requirements,
• Barriers (i.e., education, examination or experience) for minorities and other groups seeking a CPA license, and
• Success or failure of on-line accounting education.
