AACSB assurance of
learning standards in
accounting and business
education require documentation of outcomes assessment. Although schools, departments, and
faculty may approach assessment and its documentation differently, one approach is to provide
specific questions on exams that become the basis for assessment. To aid faculty in this endeavor,
we have labeled each question, exercise, and problem in Intermediate Accounting, 8e, with the
following AACSB learning skills:
