Abstract

Accountancy departments across higher education have been experiencing enrollment declines and these declines will likely continue going forward. Program directors need to be innovative and diversify their offerings in order to attract students. Traditionally most accountancy programs in higher education have limited their program offerings to two tracks: 1) audit and 2) tax. This chapter provides program directors with strategic direction and guidance on alternative offerings that an accountancy department can implement to expand their offerings and to attract new students. These alternative offerings include higher education programs developed and endorsed by professional associations such as the Institute of Internal Auditors, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and ISACA. Program Directors can implement all these programs or in piecemeal. The authors have implemented these programs into their accountancy program at their university or college with success and share with readers how they can get these programs up and running quickly and with ease.
