Over the past decade, there has been considerable discussion about the perceived gap between accounting practice and accounting education and whether accounting should be taught by PhDs or CPAs. The purported concern within the practice community (Louis Grumet, “Bridging the Education Gap,” The CPA Journal, August 2001) is that while the academic community is proficient in teaching theory, it has become increasingly out of touch with the real world of accounting. Grumet suggested that the focal issue is that accounting faculty members do not need to possess either a CPA certificate or relevant practical experience to be qualified to teach.
