Provides strategies for implementing the recommendations of the IEG No. 9 (hereafter referred to as 'Guideline'). It is based on the following premises:

- The Guideline is intended to "aspirational" of the goals of accounting education and is not intended to be "descriptive" of the current state of accounting education.

- The Guideline is not a "blueprint" that must be followed rigorously in every environment, but it is a "benchmark" to measure achievement against and to look for ideas to improve current practice.

- While it is true that some environments are not currently in a position to implement fully the Guideline, it is clear that participation in the global economy will require high standards of performance from accountants. Thus, the communication of a benchmark like the Guideline is a critical step in advancing the quality of professional accountants.
