Issues Statement No. 4 from the Accounting Education Change Commission (AECC) addresses the early employment work experiences of accountants. The AECC recommends a number of actions supervisors can employ to improve the job satisfaction of entry-level accountants. The current study examines the correlation between supervisory actions and job satisfaction of accountants employed by the Big-5 and accountants employed in non-Big-5 positions, private industry, governmental positions and not-for-profit organizations. Initial job placement and migratory patterns are also examined from a sample of 532 recent graduates from three universities.
