| Abstract: | The author states that practicing accountants perceive the education most accounting graduates get today to be outdated. As stakeholders, CPAs must recognize their input is needed. Many accounting educators have resisted restructuring the accounting curriculum to equip graduates with the tools they will need in today's changing business environment. With fewer and less- qualified students choosing accounting careers, the future of accounting schools as top-tier providers of desirable graduates to business employers is at risk. The flight of the best students to other careers exposes a deeper problem - the resistance in the academic community to major curriculum shifts. Accounting educators have been slow to make the kind of changes needed to reverse the loss of top students to other careers. |
