- Abstract
This paper presents an experiential assignment that introduces students to effective interviewing methods within the context of a tax practitioner/client interview. The assignment is accounting-related, but the goal of developing interviewing techniques as a critical subset of communication skills is of broad importance to all business disciplines. The exercise integrates the development of oral communication, critical thinking and team-building skills. Students work in interviewer/interviewee teams to prepare for, conduct and conclude an interview involving a tax topic. Reflection assignments and classroom de-brief sessions are used to reinforce learning and encourage critical evaluation. The exercise incorporates competencies identified as essential for entry-level accountants by the Joint Curriculum Task Force of the Institute of Management Accountants and the Management Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association. It also incorporates the taxation compliance and planning competency outlined by the Task Force.
