    Is Accounting An Academic Discipline?: Group Members

    Accounting may no longer be considered an academic discipline according to the document. It has become too focused on vocational training and preparing students for jobs rather than innovation. The curriculum lacks modern information science and a conceptual framework, and research and teaching are not well integrated. However, the document proposes that a small group of dedicated scholars could help bring innovation back to accounting by updating the curriculum, removing outdated approaches, and encouraging new ways of thinking to redefine the field.

    IS ACCOUNTING AN

    ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE?

    Introduction

     The question of “Accounting as academic discipline” is of great concern


     Views might differ from person to person
     Focus on: “Is Accounting an Academic Discipline” by Joel S. Demski
    The Short Answer

     Dictionary Definition of academics


     Accounting has become vocational oriented
     Curriculum is aimed at preparing for a job
     Even Ph. D. training is affected
     Innovation is close to Non –existent
     Driven by factory-like mentality
    Indicators

     Conceptual framework
     Modern information science not part of curriculum
     Absence of Portfolio-of-errors theme
     Professional ties are extensive and intrusive.
    State of Affairs

     Research and teaching are inseparable


     Are we being taught the best possible ideas?
     Or are we just sinking in the curriculum?
     What innovations have been done?
     Is the goal just to secure a job with the qualifications?
     These are the questions that have to be answered in order to bring the
    change.
    How To Break This flow?

     Innovation
     Might not come from bigger body or bigger heads
     Initiative from a small number of dedicated scholars
    How do we bring innovation and
    Improvement in accounting
    education?
    • Bringing the theme of information and technology in accounting
    • Seeking better customer experience
    • Seek to measure the progress trends in the financial aspects of a
    business
    • Remove the old guards and bring new concepts of accounting
    assessments.
    • Remove the homogeneity of knowledge of accounting scholars.
    • Educate about the changes throughout history to encourage change for the
    better.
    • ‘Learn to create’, ‘learn to improve’
    • Try to improve interpretability , not efficiency or accuracy
    • Fulfill what the definition of accounting asks for at the very least.
    CONCLUSION
     Accounting is an ever-narrowing insular vocational enterprise.

     At present, the research is largely derivative, bifurcated and far from


    foundational approach.

     Intellectual contribution to academy is nil.

     There should be perfection and unrelenting vocational approach.

     Lastly “Don’t play the game, Redefine the game.
