AICPA Turns
Students On to
Business and Accounting
The AICPA developed “The
Turnaround Game” (www.theturnaroundgame.com), a Web-based interactive business
simulation that introduces students to the
CPA’s role in business by having them
compete to devise the best strategy for saving a
record company from bankruptcy. The game is the
latest installment in an ongoing series of
promotions, contests, games and simulations in
the Institute’s Start Here, Go Places
recruitment campaign (www.startheregoplaces.com). “We’re reaching out to
younger audiences to give them a sense of what
being a CPA is all about,” said AICPA
President and CEO Barry C. Melancon.
“‘The Turnaround Game’ clearly
demonstrates the challenges and rewards CPAs face
every day.”
Educator/Researcher Lauded

Section of the American Accounting
Association (AAA). The AICPA sponsors the

who have made a significant mark on
management accounting education, research
and practice. Kaplan, the Baker
Foundation Professor at Harvard Business
School, was honored for his work on
linking cost and performance management
systems to strategy implementation and
operational excellence. He is a past
recipient of the AAA Outstanding Educator
