Why is it important?

Research in Accounting Education in Africa is at a developmental stage. However, there are many lessons from the challenges in educating professional accountants in South Africa. Such challenges are associated with student learning and diversity, including culture, gender, race, language, and technology.

Perspectives

Calls for effective and relevant higher education identify issues relating to the shortage of high-level skills and critical thinking, while other factors such as social and economic inequalities add a further dimension to the challenges of educating accounting professionals for South Africa and the broader Africa.
