Abstract: Abstract Digital disruption has significantly impacted the accounting profession, resulting in the adoption of digital technologies that redefine traditional roles and processes. This chapter explores how accounting educators can prepare future accountants for digital transformation. It examines the impact of digital technologies on the accounting profession, identifies the critical digital skills accountants must acquire, and discusses how these skills can be integrated into accounting curricula. The chapter also addresses the challenges accounting schools face in effectively teaching these digital technologies. The chapter answers critical questions, including how accountants’ roles will change under digital transformation, what essential digital skills are required, how educators can effectively teach digital skills, and what challenges accounting schools face in the digital transformation era.
