The rapid advances of information technology, coupled with the rapid falling prices of personal computers, offer a challenge and an opportunity to incorporating computers into accounting curricula. This paper presents a detailed list of computerrelated topics as core units that should be integrated into accounting curricula. The course description for each of the core computer courses is provided. Detailed justifications for their inclusions are also given. The computer resources required for implementing the computer-related units are discussed at length. Finally, a bootstrap process for solving the shortage of qualified faculty who have expertise in both accounting and computer science fields is suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
