The accounting profession has long faced the issue of an audit expectation gap; being the gap between the quality of the profession's performance, its objectives and results, and that which the society expects. Studies have been carried out worldwide to determine the effect of education in narrowing the audit expectation gap. Extending the knowledge acquired, this paper investigates whether internship program could reduce the audit expectation gap in Malaysia. Using a pre-post method, the research instrument adapted from Ferguson et al. (2000) is administered to the UUM's accounting students before and after completing an internship program. The results show a significant change in their perceptions after the internship program. However, changes in perceptions may not warrant an internship program as a means of reducing the audit expectation gap as misperceptions about the duties of auditors for fraud prevention and detection are still found among respondents. Nevertheless, an internship can still be used to complement audit education as it is an ideal way to expose students to professional issues and enables them to have a better insight of the actual performance and duties of auditors.

In expanding -nay, breaking -the frontiers of learning in educational institutions, internet is the answer. Indeed, there is now a new mode of learning and teaching with Web 2.0 tools. At the same time, there is the multitude of challenges faced by those with interest in integrating technology with the classroom learning experience. The challenges of concern are internet access, teachers' education, teachers/lecturers modeling for the students, new additional skills or literacies and alternative paths in integrating technology with the classroom experience. It seems that to ensure smooth integration of technology in the classroom, the collaborative or shared leadership style appears to be the most appropriate for those concerned.
