| 1000834 | Critical Perspectives on Accounting | 2013 | 7 Pages |
Chabrak and Craig's paper (2013) draws on a number of assumptions that require qualification. In particular, I focus on the following aspects: (i) purpose of reform, (ii) faculty, (iii) students, (iv) degree in management/accounting, and (v) educational materials. In retrospect, calls for the reform of the accounting curriculum have been rather unsuccessful. Therefore rather than waiting for the implementation of some “grand” reform, I encourage an individual approach to this important issue. In this regard, the commentary concludes with some specific suggestions to instill critical thinking in accounting students.
► Previous calls for accounting curriculum reform have been rather unsuccessful. ► In these reforms, I contend that further attention to operational matters is needed. ► I focus on five issues that should be taken aboard in curriculum reform in accounting.
