Accounting is a relatively new subject within universities and has been absorbed into a high level of education without any real attempt to do so within the traditional ethos of a liberal arts education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the logic of teaching using the liberal arts is described and contrasted with the practical vocational training approach of teaching which has formed the foundation of accountancy courses for many years. A proposal to change this established practice, by integrating the liberal arts into the university accounting curriculum, is followed by a series of short chapters which address the relevance, validity and worthiness of the proposed approach. Comments and counter-arguments are then discussed before further chapters illustrate how the proposed change may be achieved in a variety of different contexts – ranging from that of the global financial crisis (which began in 2008) to the inclusion of ethics and sustainability within the accounting curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will aid those teaching accounting in universities to improve the design of their accounting degree programmes by moving away from an excessive emphasis on technical skills towards a broader consideration of a liberal contextualisation of the accounting curriculum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eAccounting Education: an international journal.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542533791982,"sku":"9781138192812","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138192812.jpg?v=1720128662","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/liberalising-the-accounting-curriculum-in-university-education","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
