The Routledge Companion to Accounting Education Edited by Richard M.S. Wilson

Abstract

This book is a comprehensive handbook on accounting education. It gives deep understanding on the history and current stage of the accounting education. In my opinion this book contributes to accounting education literature because it is able to summarize what we know and what we do not know at the moment. In this respect it is a good reference book for scholars interested in accounting education topics. In addition, it gives lot of useful information and motivation for lecturers who want to supplement their accounting education knowledge, and for curriculum developers who pursue improvements in the quality of their accounting programs. The assessment movement in business education has increased the number of universities that apply quality accreditations for their business programs. Awareness on the history of assessment and knowledge on the implementation of outcomes assessment is beneficial for all people who are involved in the process of seeking quality accreditations for business schools. Altogether, the handbook was an enjoyable reading experience and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to deepen her/his accounting knowledge. This book really succeeds in honoring the three accounting educators to whom it is dedicated.
