  1. Accounting for DUI: Another AAA Presentation 10 Years Later Dr. Susan Rhame Dr. Carol Sullivan This session is in honor of Jaqueline Olivares, a Texas A&M - Kingsville student, who was recently killed by a drunk driver.

  2. Still a Tragedy, but Statistics are Improving over Time • 2012 – 3.3 people killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes per 100,000 population in US • 64% decrease since 1982when record keeping began • 48% decrease since 1991whenThe Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility began and the fatality rate was 6.3 (Source: http://responsibility.org/drunk-driving/drunk-driving-statistics)

  3. More Statistics • In 2012, 31% of the total vehicle traffic fatalities were alcohol-impaired driving fatalities. • Between 1991 and 2012, the rate of drunk driving fatalities per 100,000 population has decreased 48% nationally, and 63% among those under 21. • 33,561 people died in traffic crashes in 2012 in the United States, including an estimated 10,322 people who were killed in drunk driving crashes involving a driver with an illegal BAC (.08 or greater) of which: • 65% were drivers (6,688) • 27% were motor vehicle occupants (2,824) • 8% were non-occupants (810) • Average of one person dying in a drunk driving fatality every 51 minutes.

  9. 2012 Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities by State (Source: NHTA, FARS, 12/13)

  10. 2012 Under 21 Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities by State (Source: NHTA, FARS, 12/13)

  11. Percent of Holiday Traffic Fatalities by BAC Level (Source: NHTSA, FARS, 12/13)

  12. Concluding Remarks • While the statistics are improving, there are still many DUI tragedies in the United States. • These statistics only address fatalities while related injuries could range from mild to lifetime injuries. • Under 21 statistics are improving, but these people should not even be drinking at all so the statistics are unacceptable overall. • Certain states (i.e., Texas) are very problematic still in terms of DUI deaths overall and for Under 21 statistics. • This Ethics topic is important for Accounting students (especially auditors) because driving is a significant part of the job … being involved as either a perpetrator or victim can seriously affect careers.
