The AIPCA Foundation, along with some of the largest accounting firms in the country, launched the Accounting Doctoral Scholars Program in 2008 to address the growing shortage of academically qualified university accounting faculty members. The professional organization felt that Ph.D.’s with practical experience would be essential for advancing the body of expert knowledge and preparing talented, skilled accountants for the industry.
