The Trueblood Seminars for Professors
Each seminar features multiple case discussions led by several of our AERS partners, an open forum discussion of topical issues and developments in practice, as well as financial reporting updates.
The Trueblood Seminars are designed to help faculty learn more about the current state of practice so they can better prepare their students for careers in business or public accounting.
They offer scholars and practitioners an opportunity to meet together to learn about the latest developments in practice and the most challenging problems faced by practitioners.
The “Trueblood Case Study Series” is comprised of nearly fifty accounting and auditing cases and solutions which are published and made available free of charge on our firm’s website to members of the academic community for use in the college/university classroom.
Each year, ten new cases are added to the online site. The new cases would have been used at the Trueblood Seminars for Professors.
We update each of the nearly 50 cases every year to keep the issues current and to make updates to recent changes in authoritative literature.
