Abstract

Abstract Staff training partners of national accounting firms are voicing their concerns about the inability of accounting graduates to exercise judgment skills in changing environments. The purpose of the paper is to reveal how a first semester intermediate accounting course at the University of Waterloo has been reoriented to cope with this perceived deficiency. Role-playing an experienced public accountant who advises a client about investment risk-return relationships, and diagnosing the quality of an annual report by measuring disclosure and readability are but two innovative attempts to provide learning situations whereby rudiments of professional judgment can be nurtured.
