Abstract: This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on employability in accounting education from 2000 to 2025. Based on 422 documents retrieved from the Scopus database, it maps the scholarly landscape using citation analysis, authorship trends, source journals, keyword co-occurrences, and geographic and disciplinary distribution. The findings reveal a significant rise in research output since 2015, driven by growing concerns over graduate employability amid rapid technological change. The United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom are the most prolific contributors, with key journals including Accounting Education and Journal of Accounting Education. Frequently cited studies focus on curriculum alignment, soft skills development, and digital competency integration. The analysis underscores a global shift toward future-ready curricula while identifying underexplored areas in developing regions. These insights provide valuable guidance for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to improve employability outcomes in accounting education.
