Employability skills required of accountants

Employability skills have become increasingly important in a competitive job market in a globalised world of advanced technology.Our study examines employability skills of accountants as indicated in job advertisements in Australia and New Zealand, as they provide a window into the skills that are most valued by employers.The results show that of the 31 identified skills, 13 were most cited.Importantly, the most sought after skills included the ability to collaborate with colleagues, present, discuss and defend views, and having a positive attitude.Overall, a team player with a positive attitude and good communication skills appeared to be the most valued behavioural skill as perceived by employers.This probably reflects a change in the work of accountants, from being ‘backroom number crunchers’ to engaged business professionals

Learning Environment and Approaches to Learning in China and Australia: A Tale of Three Accounting Cohorts

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate whether learning approaches are impacted by the learning environment across two countries and three accounting student cohorts. This paper utilises a logistic regression based on responses from 1,381 students across five higher education (HE) institutions from China and Australia. The findings provide original empirical evidence of the Chinese accounting students’ expectations of deep learning and show that student perceptions of good teaching is a key determinant to a deep approach to learning for all three student cohorts. In addition, clear goals and standards were significant for Chinese accounting students studying both in China and Australia, while appropriate workload was significant for deep learning for the Australian domestic student cohort. There are practical implications for instructors as the results show that instructors need to adjust their teaching accordingly along with adjusting expectations regarding student workload and assessments
