Abstract: Accounting education has previously been slow to adapt to the rapidly changing educational and global environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a catalyst to reimagine and redesign innovative learning and teaching and assessment approaches that encompass a broader conceptualisation of accounting. This paper future orientates accounting education by firmly embedding technology, the development of professional skills and industry engagement at its heart. It also discusses vital supporting architecture and mechanisms to empower accounting educators to initiate and enact meaningful change. This paper contributes to the debate about the relevance of accounting education and provides several suggestions for ensuring its future applicability and ongoing sustainability.
