Abstract
This paper begins with the rationale for, and an analysis of, the accreditation standard related to the integration of information technology in accounting programs that was introduced in 2013. The standard, contained in Appendix A7 of the AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) Accounting Accreditation Standards (AACSB 2013a). The paper then discusses alternatives for implementation of elements that can be included in existing accounting curricula and explores alternatives such as adding new courses and relying on existing courses outside the accounting major to fulfill the requirements of the new standard. Faculty currently teaching accounting information systems (AIS) courses have been leaders at many schools in developing courses and strategies for meeting the new standard. The paper concludes with an evaluation of those alternatives.
