Summary
Accounting education is added to the federal list of "well‑rounded" subjects under Title IV to make accounting and accounting career awareness an explicit eligible activity. This bill would also authorize activities to develop, expand, and strengthen K–12 accounting programs with special attention to students who are underrepresented in accounting careers.
