...Development of accounting students' leadership skills can be incorporated into the accounting degree program as a part of the curriculum by getting students involved in the various activities that the accounting society organizes throughout the year. Right now the number of students involved is relatively low. The accounting society is run by the students and is for the students. It is a great platform to develop our leadership skills. Students are able to plan and organize events, help tutor freshmen, also meet with leaders in the field of accounting in Little Rock. The society is also organizing a field trip later this semester, where students will get to see real life scenario at different areas in accounting. The society is a great resource for all accounting majors. It should be made a requirement that every student becomes a member of the society and fulfill a certain number of hours of work for the society to graduate. Another way to incorporate leadership skills into the accounting program is to provide students with an internship (accounting) in a company/organization while they are in their senior year. This helps make sure that the student is able to practice the theory that he/she has learned in a class before they take up a real job. It will enable to become better in their field when they graduate. A leadership skill that I am working on improving is my time management.

What do Bear Stearns, Swissair, Health South, World Com/MCI INC. Tyco Ltd, Enron and Arthur Anderson all have in common, they all shared one weakness that has killed all companies alike.... the inability and the lack of quickness to spot bad accounting practices and procedures that were in place that lead to their immediate demise.
