Abstract

During the 1960s, the Association of University of Teachers of Accounting (AUTA), founded in 1947, nearly flickered out of existence. There were few teachers and researchers in accounting in British universities, and little support was received from the profession. It was revived from 1966 onwards by three sets of initiatives: the establishment of the AUTA News Review (which eventually metamorphosed into the British Accounting Review); the setting up of regional bodies; and the activities of the ‘Kent Group’. Competition from the British Accounting and Finance Association (BAFA) and growth in the number of academic accountants were additional factors. After many delays a successful conference was held at the University of Kent, at Canterbury, in 1971 and the continued existence of the AUTA (later renamed the British Accounting Association) was assured.
