Research in Higher Education Journal, v29 Sep 2015
Developing a vibrant and relevant accounting curriculum requires involvement of many stakeholders such as interns, alumni, and firms. Each has a distinct perspective regarding the strengths and weaknesses of accounting education. Discussion of perception gaps between the three groups and the importance of aligning these perceptions are presented. This paper provides several attainable and practical approaches for educational institutions to consider incorporating into their curriculums to improve academic scholarship and vocational prospects, expanding upon Yu et al. (2013).
