The first aim of this paper is to ascertain the extent to which Master-level accounting units across Australian universities incorporate five specific employability skills: digital technology and intellectual, communication, teamwork and leadership and management skills. The accounting profession considers these skills as the skills required of accountants in the foreseeable future. Using the International Education Standards as a benchmark, we review unit outlines and synopses to identify whether these employability skills are reflected in unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes. Our research indicates that too often not evident in the documents examined are exposures to 1) digital technology and accounting software and systems, 2) assessment of oral presentation capability, 3) training that fosters teamwork skills before completion of assessable team tasks and 4) situations that model and develop leadership and management skills. The second aim of this paper is to offer recommendations for the inclusion of these skills into curricula. Based on the literature and best practices identified in this study, we formulate 13 recommendations that we feel, if implemented, would remedy the issues uncovered and improve the integration of these skills into all accounting programs.

会计课程是否为未来做好了准备?就业技能

本文的第一个目的是确定澳大利亚大学的硕士级会计单元在多大程度上融入了五种特定的就业技能:数字技术和智力、沟通、团队合作以及领导和管理技能。会计专业将这些技能视为会计师在可预见的未来所需的技能。使用国际教育标准作为基准,我们审查单元大纲和概要,以确定这些就业技能是否反映在单元学习成果和毕业生属性中。我们的研究表明,在所审查的文件中,暴露于 1) 数字技术和会计软件和系统,2) 口头表达能力评估,往往并不明显,3) 在完成可评估的团队任务之前培养团队合作技能的培训以及 4) 模拟和发展领导和管理技能的情况。本文的第二个目的是为将这些技能纳入课程提供建议。根据本研究中确定的文献和最佳实践,我们制定了 13 条建议,我们认为,如果实施这些建议,将能够纠正发现的问题并改善这些技能与所有会计计划的整合。
