Abstract: Integrated Case Study (ICS) is a compulsory subject offered to final-year undergraduates with a bachelor’s degree in accountancy (BAC) (Hons). The teaching practice of the ICS subject generally provides cases and requires students to present their case findings based on previous knowledge and theoretical concepts. Thus, due to its nature, students reported that the subject matter was too complex to understand, especially in explicitly analysing and applying strategies to solve business cases effectively. Hence, an innovative teaching approach named IMAGINE is introduced to investigate how the approach can enhance students’ creative, critical, and problem-solving skills. Data IS obtained through qualitative methods among accounting students who enrol in the ICS subjects. The research findings significantly enhance the pedagogical aspect of teaching the ICS subject via the IMAGINE approach. Therefore, they are essential for improving final-year BAC students’ soft skills – critical, creative, and problem-solving.
