Accounting Education Change Commission

The Accounting Education Change Commission (AECC) was an organization established in the 1980s to improve accounting education. Its goal was to ensure future accountants develop strong technical skills, critical thinking, and ethical judgment needed in the evolving business world. The AECC recommended updates to curricula, emphasizing practical, real-world applications of accounting, integration of technology, and a broader understanding of business environments. Essentially, it aimed to make accounting education more relevant and effective in preparing students for successful careers.
