The current business environment is growing at rapid pace. Consequently, it affects a manner in which accounting is practised. The role of accountants is shifted from being mere financial information providers to the ones who are directly and actively involved in different levels of managerial functions.

Perhaps, one of such approaches is through the employment of an active-oriented learning method known as the ASAP. The objective of the study is to examine students’ perceptions on the usefulness of the ASAP as an action-oriented learning approach in developing the needful skills of the accounting profession and industry. In achieving the objective, an experiment-based research utilising an online survey using a questionnaire has been conducted on 45 accounting students who have completed a course in accounting software. In general, the results indicate positive perceptions among the students that the ASAP is useful in developing both technical and non-technical skills. The operationalisation of the ASAP helps developing the students’ ability to identify relevant data and apply diverse knowledge within business realms
