In eight essays, accounting educators from universities in the US detail advances in accounting education, to help instructors improve teaching methods and curriculum. They discuss the role of
oral and written communication skills, the apprehension of accounting majors towards them, and interventions; the determinants of students’ intention to major in accounting in recession
periods, focusing on perceived professional ethics, job market consideration, social influence, and self-efficacy; the core competency skills of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and how to incorporate them into an accounting elective course; using individualized self-directed learning assignments in a managerial accounting course; the need for accounting
education change in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand; and integrating accounting classes with other business disciplines using a team-based approach and course integration. Distributed in
