Abstract:
Accounting education has been criticized for several years and calls for its change have been extensive.
This study obtains the viewpoints of two important constituent groups for higher education accounting
programs: (1) public accountants and (2) non-public accountants, regarding the importance of topics to
be covered in accounting courses. Of 22 course topics, statistically significant differences for 16 were
found between the two groups. Implications for accounting educators are discussed.
