Abstract

Taxation is an important component of the knowledge base that certified public accountants (CPAs) are assumed to understand, by mere association. Whether or not CPAs, in general, actually possess enough taxation education and /or experience to warrant this reputation of prowess is a debatable matter. This paper will explore those presuppositions, restate selected previous research involving accounting education in taxation, and evaluate various educational delivery methods that might be utilized to prepare accountants to face tax issues in the real world, from the view of a veteran accounting practitioner turned enthusiastic accounting educator.
