Digital Accounting: An Overview of Current Teaching in Accounting Education

Abstract

Brunei Darussalam’s Wawasan 2035 helps a developing nation progress and remain sustainable for future generations. This study will assess the future of accounting education in local universities, particularly Brunei Darussalam. Automated, digital accounting is the future of accounting. This view leaves accounting studies vulnerable to the future as accounting education is primarily theoretical with few practical applications. Thus, this study effort seeks sustainable accounting education programs. If disregarded, accounting research will not apply to future accounting, which may raise unemployment. This study uses thematic analysis to analyze interviews due to the small number of respondents. Results match literature and interviews. Due to software shortages, accounting professors lack digital accounting skills, according to this research. Accounting education depends on instructors adapting to curriculum changes. This research may help local education steering committees change accounting education.
