I feel as though the School of Accounting should be deleted. There is hardly any content and the content that is here links to the School of Business where there is an accounting topic. This school is redundant and confusing to students and teachers. What are your thoughts? How do we go about deleting the School of Accounting?

I suppose there could be a distinction between non-governmental organization (NGO) and government accounting, but that might not be necessary since many of the concepts are the same as business accounting. Perhaps these could be extra sections on the Topic of Accounting in the School of Business relating to these subsections of accounting.

Or we could have under the heading of "Divisions and departments" in the School of Accounting the other types of accounting and some of those sections in the curriculum could link to the same places as the Topic of Accounting in the Business School or there could be a prerequisite that the Topic of Accounting in the Business School has already been completed.

I am sort of leaning towards the first idea since marketing, human resources, operations, etc. are still relevant to NGO's and governments so we could just append these sections onto the existing materials.

TL;DR - the School of Accounting should be deleted

What are some thoughts?

This is a good recommendation. The school is business. The department (topic) is accounting. Cleaned up incoming links and redirected. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:55, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
