We must prepare those who decide to major in accounting not simply to pass the CPA exam, and not even just to get that first job. They must be ready for a world fraught with temptations to manipulate financial disclosures. A world in desperate need of professionals with vision, competence, character, and courage to make a difference. I remember how proud I was when a student I once had in intermediate accounting, came back as a professional in a Big 4 firm to give a talk to our students. I wasn’t proud just because she had a job with a prestigious firm. I was proud because she was so confident, articulate, happy with her chosen career, and her talk was so good! She is poised to become a leader of the accounting profession in the not too distant future. Moments like this are what makes it great to be a teacher.
