“…They recommend the use of role-playing and presentations to better prepare students for practice.

We study the employability skills expected of accounting graduates in regional metropolitan areas, which may significantly differ from the diverse economies of large central metropolitan areas. We investigate the differences in technical and soft skills demanded by metropolitan areas in the state of Texas. We assess the differences in technical skills versus soft skills for 14 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and 12 Occupational in the State of Texas. We examine the job postings and find that Communication skills are in high demand irrespective of the size of the metropolitan area. Large metro areas have a higher demand for analytical and team/cooperative skills while Medium metro areas and Border cities have a higher demand for organizational, detail oriented/meticulous, and management skills. Although all areas show many similarities in the technical skills they demand, Medium metro areas and Border cities showed a demand for Bilingual skills. We find that the different economic needs should be addressed with a regional perspective.

A pandemia da Covid-19 causada pelo novo Coronavírus obrigou o mundo inteiro a realizar mudanças, inclusive na educação. De forma repentina, as aulas presenciais foram substituídas pelo ensino remoto não presencial, sem que houvesse um planejamento adequado para isso. Por outro lado, o ensino de contabilidade vem sofrendo inúmeras críticas nos últimos anos tanto pelo que é ensinado como pelo como é ensinado. No caso da disciplina de contabilidade societária, a situação é ainda pior: agrava-se pela ausência de pesquisas amplas sobre sua metodologia. O presente artigo propõe-se a oferecer possibilidades de soluções para a seguinte questão: durante a pandemia da Covid-19 e o ensino remoto, como lecionar contabilidade societária de forma eficaz? Como solução, recomendamos aos docentes da disciplina, trabalhar com metodologias ativas de aprendizagem, especificamente a aprendizagem baseada em problemas, aprendizagem baseada em times e sala de aula invertida.

The skills gap in the accounting profession is not a new issue. More than 30 years of research and studies all point to an ever-increasing disparity between what accountants do and what the mainstream accounting curriculum teaches. Technology and businesses are changing and evolving rapidly, as are the expectations for accountants. Advances in the areas of automation and machine learning, artificial intelligence, data analytics and blockchain are examples of current technology disruptions in the accounting industry. The competencies and skills needed today for the accounting profession in the broad sense are not being taught by most universities. The purpose of this paper is to explore what these competencies and skills are, and why accounting curricula needs a strategic transformation into higher education for a learned profession.
