Accounting case search: A web-based search tool for finding published accounting cases

•We created a website that allows for accounting faculty to find cases relevant to the courses they teach.•The site allows for searches to be refined by keyword (Accounting Topic).•The site is available from any web-enabled device, including laptop computers, tablets and smart phones.•Case sources include the Journal of Accounting Education, Issues in Accounting Education, and the IMA Ed. Case Journal.•The site provides links to case abstracts for most cases. The creation of the Accounting Case Search website was motivated by the Pathways Commission Report and inspired by the frustration felt in trying to find cases for courses we have had to develop over the past 17 years. The site updates and extends previously published case search resources such as Weinstein (2005), Lipe (2006), and Miller et al. (2014), as well as resources available at the Management Accounting Section (MAS) and ATA Section sites on the American Accounting Association (AAA) website. The site currently includes all cases published to date in the Journal of Accounting Education, Issues in Accounting Education and the IMA Educational Case Journal (492 cases). Searching for cases at the site is based primarily on courses (course title), which can then be narrowed by keywords (Accounting Topics). This website will be updated by the authors as new cases are published. The authors will also expand the set of source journals. The website address is http://www.cases.ndacct.com/.
