Display BarChart ticks in AccountingForm?

Hello,

I have a BarChart with large y-values:

BarChart[{1 10^13, 2 10^13, 3 10^13}, ChartLabels -> {"a", "b", "c"},
  Ticks -> {None, {1 10^13, 2 10^13, 3 10^13}}]

I do not want the y-axis tick marks to display in scientific notation.  
How can I get the tick marks to display using AccountingForm?  The  
following does not seem to work:

BarChart[{1 10^13, 2 10^13, 3 10^13}, ChartLabels -> {"a", "b", "c"},
  Ticks -> {None,
    AccountingForm[#, DigitBlock -> 3] & /@ {1 10^13, 2 10^13,
      3 10^13}}]

Thanks in advance,
Porscha
