I’m an accounting professor. This means that no only do I think (and write) about the world of accounting, I also help students learn about it. Primarily, I teach financial accounting classes such as Intermediate 1 & 2, Advanced and MBA. However, I also enjoy a secondary teaching area in cost/managerial, with classes such as Managerial Principles, Cost 1 & 2, and MBA. If you are interested, you can learn my approach to teaching by reading the following:

Hopefully sometime in the next 10 years I can join you as a blogging accounting professor? Got to make it into the PhD program first!
Kellen,
Let me know when you get ready. Love to have you as fellow blogger.

Hello Professor David Albrecht,
I am a secondary school teacher and basically teach principles of accounts to teens of 14 to 16. I came across your blog and found it wonderful with lots of interesting things especially your teaching philosophy. I quote
“If they don’t learn how to use it here, they won’t be able to take that skill with them.”
I agree with you and instead blame the society who has made education a simple commodity that is bought. Emphasis is more and more on the certificates rather than on what has been learnt and how to use them.
Dave,
How are you? Update me on how you are doing?

You are clearly more focused on accounting on your blog than I am, I tend more to financial markets. Nice job, I need to do a better job with the look and coherence of mine at

Only 20 of us acconting professors blogging, well I guess I am not surprised. A real problem in this business is that there is no credit for original thought. Why everyone is so impressed with quant research is frankly a puzzle to me. After all, Pacioli did not conduct any research on what everyone wanted for an accounting system, he used original thought and invented one! I guess we could not expect him to get tenured. Same thing was true for Peter Drucker, lots of original thoughts but little to no research, but he got credit for inventing management!

Blogging doesn’t count for any biz prof, but in econ, finance and (although not biz) law it is quite common to blog. I’ve heard it is quite competitive to get into the top 250 blogs in those fields.
You will notice that all the acct profs have their own focus. Some do education, some do tax practice. I just happen to be a financial accounting guy. Since that’s what I know, that’s what I talk about.
