EXCELLENCE IN AUDIT EDUCATION

Served for Coopers & Lybrand National Office (New York) on the Faculty Advisory Committee for Audit Education.  Faculty group advised and assisted Coopers & Lybrand with the following during the project.

PHASE I

• Three symposia for auditing professors throughout the nation to discuss both the educational objectives of the Auditing curriculum and teaching tools developed by C&L and the Faculty Advisory Group which can be utilized to bring more practice experience to the classroom.  Faculty Advisory Group made all presentations at the symposia. All three symposia held in New York and approximately 35 auditing professors attended each: May 14-15, 1987; May 12-13, 1988; May 24-25, 1988.

• Case studies and other tools were developed from C&L's practice and experience, including a two hour video simulation of an audit.  The simulation used professional actors, scripting and sets, and cost well over 1.2 million dollars.  Feedback from use in C&L Symposia was extremely positive.

11

• Presented (with M. Groomer, Indiana University) five full day seminars on "Excellence in Audit Education" to auditing professors from five of Coopers & Lybrand's practice regions: Midwest region, Detroit, November, 1988; New York Metro region, New York, November, 1988; Mid-Atlantic region, Philadelphia, December, 1988; Canadian firm, Toronto, March, 1989; Midwest region, Chicago, April, 1989.

PHASE II

• Participated in four full day planning and working sessions with members of C&L Foundation and Faculty Advisory Group. Phase II of Excellence in Audit Education Program finalized. It continues the development and dissemination of audit education materials to auditing faculty around the country. Phase II addresses the audit topics of risk analysis and analytical review and provides cases, video materials and a comprehensive computer searchable database for classroom use.

• A national symposium for initial presentation of the Phase II materials held on June 27-28, 1990. Approximately 60 auditing educators attended and were given the materials, a seminar on their use, and a $5,000 curriculum development grant to enable release time for incorporating the materials into their courses. All presentations at the symposium were made by the Faculty Advisory Group.

• Materials were distributed to additional schools around the nation through regional presentations by the Faculty Advisory Group in eight C&L practice regions, beginning Spring, 1991. Presented by D. Ward and M. Groomer to auditing educators in Canada (nationwide) in November, 1990, and to the Midwest Region of the U.S. in April, 1991.

• During Spring and early Summer, 1991, a monograph was prepared by Jay Smith, Bob May, Dewey Ward and Gary Holstrum detailing the history, development, success and availability of the Excellence in Audit Education materials. Published jointly in the Fall, 1991 by the Audit Section of the American Accounting Association and the Coopers & Lybrand Foundation.

CONCLUSION

In August, 1991, the American Accounting Association gave its Innovation in Accounting Education Award to the Faculty Advisory Group for its participation in the Excellence in Audit Education Program.
