    Accounting Education: To Cite This Article: Richard M. S. Wilson (2011) : Editorial To Introduce The Bloom and Webinger

    Uploaded by

    Ika Syahreni Syafril
    This editorial introduces the 15th forum in the journal Accounting Education, which focuses on contextualizing intermediate financial accounting courses within the global financial crisis. Previous forums have addressed topics such as accounting education in society, popular media formats, and environmental accounting education. The current forum highlights how the financial crisis provides an opportunity to contextualize accounting's role in real world issues and integrate it with other business disciplines like economics, banking, and finance. The editorial argues that accounting education is incomplete without understanding how accounting fits within the broader picture along with other related fields.

    Accounting Education being the fifteenth. Themes have ranged over a variety of contem-

    Contextualizing the Intermediate Financial Accounting courses in the
    global financial crisis

    The AE Forum in this issue of Accounting Education: an international journal high-


    lights a major phenomenon of our time—the global financial crisis, which started in
    2008 and which provides a focal point to not only contextualize the role of accounting
    in non-trivial real world issues, but also to integrate accounting with other courses typi-
    cally taught in business schools (including economics, banking, and finance).
    My preferred analogy is that of the jig-saw puzzle: accounting plays a key role in the
    control of organizations of one kind and another within their respective environments,
    but it is only one piece of a much more complex picture. Without a sense of how the
    different pieces of the puzzle as a whole fit together and interact, accounting education
    is conspicuously incomplete.
    I join the writers of the Commentaries that follow the paper by Robert Bloom and
    Mariah Webinger in applauding the contribution of this paper, and I hope it will encourage
    closer collaboration among those from different disciplines in designing and delivering a
    curriculum from which all parties might benefit.
