Globalization has given rise to digital accounting with new ways of sharing information, particularly digitalization of the profession. The teaching of accounting must go along with technological changes in preparing students for the challenges of 4.0 environments. The new coronavirus pandemic in 2020 forced, among others, companies and universities to migrate their working and teaching methods to the remote format. As a result, teachers and students had to adapt to a new routine for carrying out their tasks, previously in person. Knowing how to use technology in favor of more efficient and effective teaching was one of the biggest challenges that the teachers faced during this period of suspension of face-to-face classes. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate how the teachers of the accounting course at the UTFPR in Brazil and at ISCAP in Portugal perceive the use of information technology in the process of education at distance (EaD) during the period of the new coronavirus pandemic and in the future. The study reveals the concern of teaching with digital technologies regarding the effectiveness of this model in the teaching and learning process. The methodology used was quantitative and qualitative, through the case study and the survey carried out in both higher education institutions. Thus, it is possible to state that the study highlighted the importance of technological resources for remote teaching, as well as the difficulty still existing in the management of these tools, and some limitations of interaction existing in non-presential relationships.
