THE JANUARY 1966
Is the Institute’s policy-making-structure-ready for the future? A committee of three, together with a private consultant, has been charged by the executive committee to look into the question and report its findings to Council at the spring meeting.
The members appointed to the committee are: James VanderLaan, chairman, Colorado; Walter J. Oliphant, Illinois; and Kenneth S. Axelson, New York. They will be working with Robert Greenleaf, a former American Telephone & Telegraph Co. executive who has conducted similar studies for the Ford Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, and other charitable and business organizations.
Computer research study no. 1 is now being distributed to all members in public practice. It contains the results of the AICPA/System Development Corporation survey together with voluntary comments received from participants who returned their questionnaires.
This is the first of a series of studies, based on the AICPA/SDC research project results (The CPA, Dec.65, p.1), which explore the impact of computers on public accounting practice.
Members not in public practice can receive a free copy of the study by writing to the Institute. Extra copies are available at $1 each.

It may well lead to the first automated information retrieval system available to the profession (page 4). ...
