I'm a researcher with the University of Toronto. We're conducting an online study, which asks people about their attitudes on a number of topics. It will take 10-15 minutes of your time.

All of your answers are absolutely anonymous and confidential. A full explanation of the background and purpose of the study is provided upon completion. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate. This study has been approved by the University of Toronto Ethics Review Board.

To thank participants for taking the time to participate, at the end of the study you'll be offered the opportunity to enter into a draw to win a $50 (US) gift certificate to Amazon.com.

Dave

I appreciate your offer. I include a short intro and the link below:

I'm a graduate student in psychology at the University of Rochester. I'm
looking for a nationally representative sample of volunteers to take my
survey. The survey is brief, it takes about 6-7 minutes to complete, and
asks questions about your spending habits, your household, and your
personality. There is a link at the bottom that will direct you to the
survey. Your responses are confidential and anonymous, and the survey has
been approved by the University of Rochester ethical review board. My
contact information is included in the survey if you have questions.
Thanks in advance. The link follows below.

Student Survey on Attitudes toward the CPA profession

Dear Educator:

This is a reminder that the student survey on attitudes toward the CPA profession and the educational requirements will close on June 23 (an extension from the original June 21 close date). It is also a request for your continued assistance in distributing the survey link to your students and encouraging their participation. We currently have almost 1000 participants including undergraduate and graduate students along with recent graduates but would like to have more participation in order to ensure we have a broad representation of student attitudes.

We also want to encourage you to please forward the survey link to non-accounting colleagues and ask them to forward it to their students as we are also interested to learn the thoughts of students who have not chosen to pursue accounting. Students are also encouraged to forward the link to other students.

The survey can be accessed at this link.
http://email.aicpa.org/cgi-bin15/DM/y/eeD50SJsEU0HA50nUa0EL

Currently the research on these topics tends to be dated and based almost exclusively on analyses of CPA Exam scores. It is our hope that by launching this survey we can gain some general insight as to whether or not the requirement to complete 150 hours of college coursework in order to (a) take the CPA Exam and/or (b) become a licenses CPA has an impact on students' interest in and intent to become a CPA.

The survey window will remain open until June 23, 2009. As it will only take a matter of 5 to 10 minutes, we ask that you please encourage your students to complete it as early as possible.

We appreciate your support.

With thanks,

The American Institute of CPAs
