Abstract: The process of enriching teaching by incorporating academic research is generally seen as important to delivering successful learning outcomes. Engagement with academic research in the classroom also influences practice through students who are, or will soon become, graduates and professional practitioners. However, despite having seemingly attained the status of conventional wisdom, the integration of research, teaching, and practice cannot be assumed to be axiomatic. The linkages between research and practice, and between research and teaching, are not always obvious or easily demonstrable, and there is continuing debate as to the extent to which academic research adds value to student learning or its subsequent use in practice. Additionally, relatively few studies in accounting education have investigated the nexus between research, practice, and teaching from the frame of reference of post-graduate students who are both students and practising managers.
