This paper provides an overview of several studies on governmental accounting education. These studies have focused on the lack of attention devoted to the coverage of governmental and nonprofit accounting (GNP) topics in business school programs at US colleges and universities. Despite numerous calls for action from a wide array of stakeholders, the research has found only marginal progress in broadening the coverage of governmental accounting at most institutions.
