Abstract:

In recent years audit scandals have revealed the importance of accounting education. In the world of accounting there is a need for a well-educated, sector aware, ethically-equipped, well-trained labour force rather than employees keeping records. Accounting education at bachelor's level is given at the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences or Faculty of Business Administration in universities in Turkey. The School of Applied Sciences, which are one of the new educational institutions in higher education, educates students who train students in certain fields and who have received practical training in cooperation with the sector through predominantly foreign language education and compulsory summer internships or on-the-job training program. The aim of this study is to examine the curriculum of Accounting Departments of the Schools of Applied Sciences (UBYO) and Faculties of Applied Sciences (UBF), to measure the adequacy of accounting courses in terms of course credits and number of courses and to reveal its contribution to accounting education in the context of international accounting education standards.
