The Routledge Companion to Accounting Education

"Accounting education has come under fire over the years from various quarters: including the accounting profession, the business world and students. Calls for accounting to be taught in different ways have stemmed from changes in practice, increasing uncertainty, the recognition of risk, more complexity, new regulations, interdisciplinary practices and technological change. Whilst the subject has been researched comprehensively in journal articles, until now there has not been a comprehensive publication which addresses the whole field.This prestige reference work defines the domain of accounting education and provides a critical overview of the state of this domain. The Routledge Companion to Accounting Education is comprehensive, up to date, and a definitive work of reference which can be cited as an authoritative source on this domain"--
