The greatest thing about becoming a member is the variety of opportunities to meet an outstanding group of international scholars with mutual interest in the teaching, research, and practice of international accounting.
The Section Historian (Norlin G. Rueschhoff) has compiled, and continues to compile, details of the Section's history. In due course these materials will be added directly to this site, however, in the meantime the Section history site can be accessed directly here:

[Image - Professor Norlin Rueschhoff of the University of Notre Dame is the AAA International Accounting Section historian. The picture of him on the right was taken at the town hall of Sansapolcro, Italy, the birthplace of Luca Pacioli, who wrote the first treatise on double-entry accounting in 1494. The plaque on the wall commemorates Pacioli, a friend and consultant to Leonard da Vinci. ]
