Abstract: The accounting profession plays a vital role in organizations’ financial stability and transparency, making it imperative to examine the satisfaction levels of employers regarding the quality and preparedness of accounting interns. Limited knowledge about how employers perceive the value of accounting interns who have engaged in digital learning experiences throughout their undergraduate studies is known. The study aims to examine the impact of digital learning environments on employer satisfaction with accounting interns in three different aspects, namely technical and functional skills, communication skills and organizational management skills. The study surveyed a sample of employers that had hosted accounting internships in 2022. The findings of this study revealed that employers have a high level of satisfaction towards accounting interns in the digital learning environment. This has significant implications for various stakeholders, including educational institutions, employers, accounting interns and the accounting profession as a whole. It offers insights into how academic institutions can better align their curriculum and support systems with the needs and expectations of employers, thus bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world accounting practice.
