Abstract
This issue of AE leads with a Forum which is based on an intriguing paper by Marc Wouters in which he argues (with empirical evidence) that the typical exposition in widely-used textbooks finishes where it should be starting. This is a crucial matter given that many courses in the domain of Accounting & Finance (especially those of an introductory nature) tend to be built around the design of standard textbooks. If the textbooks have got things badly wrong, what does this say about the courses they are seeking to support, and our approach to the discipline that we profess? Several authors of what have become standard texts within those authors' respective bailiwicks have contributed Commentaries on the paper, to which Professor Wouters has written a Rejoinder . Both the Commentaries and the Rejoinder were written without their authors knowing the identities of other contributors to this Forum . Collectively, these components add up to a lively debate on a non-trivial theme, and I would welcome additional papers on this theme, as well as polemical papers on other themes linked to accounting education which might be suitable for developing a future Forum .
