Abstract: This study investigates the use of digital transformation for teaching management accounting through the implementation of training with a simulation in an authentic professional environment. Technology makes it possible to bring professional reality into the classroom, thereby enhancing the work-integrated experience of students. The authors present the training developed for third year undergraduates in Management Accounting course and the analysis of how students perceive the learning outcomes of this experiential activity. The study used quantitative and qualitative analysis from a survey of 254 respondents. The findings suggest that learning through tasks simulated in a real workplace positively influences students’ perceptions of their readiness for professional activity in terms of their technical, intellectual, organisational, personal, and interpersonal skills.
