My vision that by 2036 accounting is known as the learned profession that provides information for informed decision-making to support a prosperous society. By 2036, academic and practising accountants view themselves as a part of the same profession, and practicing accountants look to academics develop knowledge relevant to identifyng information -and its characteristics- useful in information decisions. In sum, insights from research are instrumentals in shaping accountig in practice. To achieve this vision, academics need to (1) conduct fundamental and applied research; (2) communicate research insights outside of academia; (3) interact with practicing accountants and other who use accounting information, such as managers, capital providers, regulators, and government officials; and (4) ensure that everyone understands that academic accountants are responsible for the "learned" part of accounting as a learned profession.
