Addressing the Growing Shortage of Accounting Faculty

In response to the growing shortage of academically–qualified university accounting faculty members, especially those with recent experience in the practice of auditing and tax, concerned practitioners, leaders from 70 of the largest firms and several state CPA societies have joined together to fund the Accounting Doctoral Scholars (ADS) Program. The ADS Program is administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Foundation under the oversight of an Advisory Council. Sponsors have committed financial support totaling over $16 million over an eight-year period for the Program.
