This study examined the role of ICT integration in accounting education on the value
adding capacity of accounting students in Nigeria. The study adopted the Survey research design
involving the collection of data from accounting students in selected private universities in Nigeria.
Copies of Questionnaire were administered to 147 respondents out of which 111 were gathered.
Pearson Correlation and Linear Regression were employed in the analysis of the data collected with
the use of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that integration of ICT
(accounting software packages and IT knowledge and skills) into accounting education (curriculum)
would help accounting graduates fulfill their responsibility of
adding value to organizations. Consequently, it was recommended that the Nigeria Universities
Commission (NUC) and relevant educational bodies should compulsorily integrate (in all higher
institution) into accounting curriculum at all level a practical course on accounting packages and IT
knowledge and skills
