The Model Tax Curriculum (MTC) provides recommendations for designing the tax component of the academic accounting curriculum to address the AICPA’s vision, the AICPA Tax Section’s mission and, to a more limited extent, prepare for the Uniform CPA Examination.
The MTC is a resource to assist educators in preparing students for initial success in any one of the various entry points to the accounting profession, or in other positions in which accounting knowledge is a critical skill set. The MTC also can aid educators in designing and assessing accounting curricula that will serve to attract students to careers in taxation. Regardless of a student’s interest in becoming a future tax professional, the tax curriculum should provide a sound foundation for future learning.
