- Description
- In Australia, the professional accounting bodies monitor accounting education in higher education institutions through a system currently referred to as course accreditation. This system differs from monitoring processes in the UK and the US. This paper addresses the question of why this monitoring mechanism was developed over a forty year period and how the professional accounting bodies have maintained the system throughout periods of massive shifts in Commonwealth government education policies. It concludes that, despite the evidence that the monitoring mechanism has been ineffective, the maintenance of the system until recently, has resulted in mutually beneficial outcomes for both the professional accounting bodies and the higher education institutions.
