Download or read book Today s PhD Students Is There a Future Generation of Accounting Academics Or Are They a Dying Breed written by Vivien A. Beattie and published by . This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are accounting and finance academics a dying breed? Or will today's PhD students secure the next generation? This study attempts to answer these important questions by investigating: the current state of the market for PhD studies in the UK; the level of satisfaction with current supervisory processes; and the implications for accounting education and training in the UK, for the academic profession and for the public accounting profession.A sustainable related academic discipline is surely vital to any profession. In accounting, the discipline educates those entrants who do choose to undertake a relevant ('accounting') degree and also advances accounting thought and knowledge through research. However, this report highlights a real concern amongst accounting and finance academics that the future is uncertain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many enquiries into the state of accounting education/training, undertaken in several countries over the past 40 years, have warned that it must change if it is to be made more relevant to students, to the accounting profession, and to stakeholders in the wider community. This book’s over-riding aim is to provide a comprehensive and authoritative source of reference which defines the domain of accounting education/training, and which provides a critical overview of the state of this domain (including emerging and cutting edge issues) as a foundation for facilitating improved accounting education/training scholarship and research in order to enhance the educational base of accounting practice. The Routledge Companion to Accounting Education highlights the key drivers of change - whether in the field of practice on the one hand (e.g. increased regulation, globalisation, risk, and complexity), or from developments in the academy on the other (e.g. pressures to embed technology within the classroom, or to meet accreditation criteria) on the other. Thirty chapters, written by leading scholars from around the world, are grouped into seven themed sections which focus on different facets of their respective themes – including student, curriculum, pedagogic, and assessment considerations.
Download or read book The Interface of Accounting Education and Professional Training written by Elaine Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over many decades the global development of professional accounting education programmes has been undertaken by higher education institutions, professional accounting bodies, and employers. These institutions have sometimes co-operated and sometimes been in conflict over the education and/or training of future accounting professionals. These ongoing problems of linkage and closure between academic accounting education and professional training have new currency because of pressures from students and employers to move accounting preparation onto a more efficient, economic and practical basis. The Interface of Accounting Education and Professional Training explores current elements of the interface between the academic education and professional training of accountants in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK. It argues for a reassessment of the considerations and requirements for developing professional accounting programs which can make a student: capable of being an accountant (the academy); ready to be an accountant (the workplace); and professional in being an accountant (the professional bodies). This book was originally published as a special issue of Accounting Education: An International Journal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive and holistic study on being a financial practitioner today.

It clarifies the public image of the management accountants and provides a better understanding of today’s management accountants—who they are and how they are formed—while theorizing on how to develop the next generation.

Download or read book Views of Generation X and Y in Public Accounting Firms written by Judy Marie Mason and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is essential for professional accounting firms to understand and adapt to changes over time and shifts in employment contract thinking. Sociological and demographical changes are having the most obvious and critical impacts on the accounting industry. It is essential for business success and sustainability to develop an astute understanding of human traits, attitudes shifts, social trends and the perceptions of our youngest employees. Research can provide better understanding of the younger generations of employees in the work place. The purpose of the paper is to provide more resources for employers to use in developing the next generation of accounting professionals and leaders. Most accounting firms employ Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980 approx.) and Generation Y (born between 1981 and 2000 approx.). Employers are living in the reality of recruiting and retaining these two distinct cohorts. This requires an understanding of each distinctive generation and their overall values, attitudes and expectations. Currently there are limited reports or studies directed towards public practice in relation to these generations' cohorts. The intention of the research is to understand the current environment of public practice by exploring satisfaction, commitment, and intention to remain factors relevant to recruiting, retaining and developing generation X and Y students and designated accounts (CA's, CPA's), primarily in British Columbia. The relevancy of this research is due to several factors: aging partners and managers, shifting numbers of entrants to the profession and a booming economy in British Columbia that is predicted to remain strong up to 2010. Subsequently a survey was developed to explore factors important to Generation X and Y pertaining to satisfaction, commitment, and intention to remain, and the effects of these factors on recruiting, retaining and developing generation X and Y professionals in public practice. In a survey of 162 Generation X and Y respondents of which 149 completed the questionnaire, respondents participated from Canada, Europe (England, Scotland, Ireland and France), Australia and the United States through two organizations (Ran One and ROCG Americas). The inclusion of respondents from several countries was intended to predicted similar trends in various countries. However, due to the scope of the project and minimal responses they were amalgamated into one group. This study found that most factors important to the universal groups known as Generation X and Y are also important to accountants. There were some interesting variances, such as perceptions on pay ranked less important than the literature generally suggests. The study also concluded that prestige is not important to either cohort and is a consideration for accounting firms when recruiting Generation X and Y or in identifying future leaders. It is hopeful that the study provided young professionals with a voice and employers with a tool box of resources to enhance the employment contract and to promote higher levels of intention to remain by Generation X and Y.

Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Neither an academic tome nor a prescriptive 'how to' guide, The Theory and Practice of Online Learning is an illuminating collection of essays by practitioners and scholars active in the complex field of distance education. Distance education has evolved significantly in its 150 years of existence. For most of this time, it was an individual pursuit defined by infrequent postal communication. But recently, three more developmental generations have emerged, supported by television and radio, teleconferencing, and computer conferencing. The early 21st century has produced a fifth generation, based on autonomous agents and intelligent, database-assisted learning, that has been referred to as Web 2.0. The second edition of "The Theory and Practice of Online Learning" features updates in each chapter, plus four new chapters on current distance education issues such as connectivism and social software innovations."--BOOK JACKET.
