“…(2009), found that a positive perception of a student about the accounting profession influences his or her career intentions to seek a career in professional accounting. Studies such as Tan and Laswad (2018), Abbott and Palatnik (2018), and Sugahara and Bolland (2006) argue that some students hold the perception that the professional accounting programme requires low communications skills than an accounting degree programme. This perception tends to influence students in making career decisions in accounting.…”

The study adopted survey questionnaires developed on a 5-point Likert’s scale to collect primary data from 231 final year university students pursuing accounting across Ghana using purposive sampling technique. The study employed the use of PLS-SEM to conduct Regression Analysis. The outcome of the study reveals that the relationship between the future plan and career intentions of accounting students is significantly positive, and a positive perception on the accounting profession influences the accounting student to pursue a career in accounting.

“…Além das competências técnicas, têm sido exigidas desses profissionais habilidades comportamentais que englobam desde proatividade até a facilidade em estabelecer bons relacionamentos interpessoais (G1, 2013;Exame, 2016).

O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o perfil requerido pelo mercado de trabalho para profissionais contábeis da área de custos a partir das diretrizes da International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), sendo analisadas 155 vagas de emprego anunciadas no site Manager Empregos. As redes de coocorrência obtidas pelo coeficiente de Jaccard permitiram delinear o perfil profissional requerido pelo mercado de trabalho. Os achados indicam que possuir conhecimentos multidisciplinares, elaborar relatórios para tomada de decisão, dominar elementos da tecnologia da informação e da língua inglesa estão entre os anseios técnicos identificados. Em relação às professional skills, foi verificado que ter habilidades de comunicação, pensamento crítico e analítico, visão sistêmica, foco, organização e ética são características destacadas pelas organizações que pretendem contratar profissionais de custos. Os resultados implicam a importância de desenvolver, além de competências técnicas, também habilidades sociais com os discentes dos cursos de Ciências Contábeis para que sejam supridas as demandas do mercado de trabalho e para que os estudantes consigam tornar seus currículos atrativos para as organizações e superar barreiras por vezes existentes devido à pouca experiência profissional no mercado de trabalho.
