AMERICAN ACCOUNTING ASSOCIATION

The American Accounting Association is a group of people who work in accounting, teach accounting, or are studying accounting. They were founded in 1916 and their goal is to promote accounting as a subject by sponsoring research projects and continuing education seminars. They are also known as AAA.

One example of the American Accounting Association's work is sponsoring research projects. This means they give money to people who want to study accounting and learn more about it. Another example is continuing education seminars. These are classes or workshops that help people who already work in accounting to learn new things and stay up-to-date with changes in the field.

These examples show how the American Accounting Association helps people learn more about accounting and stay current with changes in the field. By sponsoring research projects and continuing education seminars, they are promoting accounting as an important subject and helping people who work in accounting to be the best they can be.
