This comprehensive education prepares students for their future careers, as noted by Morshed (2022) and Saleh et al (2023). The inclusion of forensic accounting within university accounting curricula is also vital for ensuring the accuracy of financial statements and meeting the demands of modern business environments.…”

Furthermore, the biggest challenge to integrating forensic accounting, as perceived by stakeholders, is the lack of related job opportunities.Practical implicationsThe study significantly contributes to accounting education research by providing valuable information on barriers to incorporating forensic accounting into the accounting curricula of Jordanian educational institutions from the perceptive of various stakeholders. Therefore, this study may assist educators in overcoming obstacles in offering forensic accounting education.Originality/valueThe study carries important implications for the inclusion of forensic accounting in the accounting curricula of Jordanian educational institutions.

The market has given practical education in the accounting area a lousy ranking for several reasons that Morshed (2021) outlined. These include a dearth of qualified instructors, curricula that lack in-depth topic knowledge and ethical principles, and internships that produce subpar results.…”

Purpose: Accountants have always been information technology (IT) users, and the case for increasing IT skills and Knowledge by accounting practitioners and graduates is stronger than ever. In business, IT is widely used and is getting more so. Without IT tools, achieving users' requirements for financial statements and other management information systems reports is no longer possible. Academics and practitioners have recognized the significance and IT (skills and Knowledge) in achieving success in the competitive business environment. Accountants who work for businesses, IT (skills and Knowledge) have necessitated the development of a new type of accountant, which is the focus of this study. Hence, this study aims to know the relationship between IT (skills and Knowledge) of accounting graduating students in Oman and university accounting programs. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: The units of analysis for this study are graduating students in Oman. It used a survey for the year 2022 to study the effect of IT (skills and Knowledge) and accounting programs among graduating students in Oman. The present research tested its hypotheses and utilized its variables using the PLS software for data analysis. Findings: The result revealed that IT Knowledge was significant with Accounting Programs where it was p<0.01, t ˃2.33. This result indicates that IT Knowledge has a significant impact on Accounting Programs. Further, the result revealed that IT Skills were also significant in Accounting Programs where it was p< 0.01, t=2.434. This result indicates that IT Skills have a significant impact on Accounting Programs.

“…Accounting graduate students do not have practical experience, but they do have textbook knowledge. According to Morshed (2021), professional experience in MS Excels is an important factor in practical accounting education. MS Excel is a unique and specific way that teachers and students can be used to express and understand accounting concepts in a practical manner.…”

Purpose- The aim of this research is to know the level of Microsoft (MS) excel knowledge and skills in the broad field of accounting education. Design/methodology/approach- The survey questionnaire is designed as a research instrument and distributed to graduate students enrolled in an accounting course from Oman universities. 142 questionnaires were gathered using Google Forms and analyzed using the partial least-squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. Findings- The findings show that both MS Excel knowledge and skills are most important and developing MS excel skills in accounting education suggest that the Omani accounting education system might do more to give opportunity for students to thrive in their future careers. Research limitations/implications- The findings provide MS knowledge and skills of accounting graduates in Oman's higher educational institutions (HEIs). In particular, this study sheds light on the skills that accounting students want and how relevant these skills for Omani graduates. Practical Implications- Some modifications to accounting education are proposed to enhance accounting students' MS skills. Originality/value- Because there is a lack of specific research on MS excel knowledge and skills in accounting education in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, this study contributes to the body of expertise on MS skills in GCC countries, especially in Oman.
