Abstract: Accounting education in the Republic of Croatia is part of the general education system. Secondary schools of economics generate lower-level bookkeepers, while universities generate professionals hierarchically higher in view of rights, responsibilities, and benefits, i.e., accountants. The basic types and characteristics of the accounting profession depend on the accounting education system and the actual accounting system as well. The most significant changes in the accounting system in the Republic of Croatia occurred in 1993 when the Accounting Act was passed, introducing the compulsory implementation of International Accounting Standards. On the other hand, the Croatian education system implements the latest international solutions and prepares accountants for practical work.
