Integrating Sustainability into Professional Accounting Education

My research is aimed at investigating how sustainability is integrated into professional accounting education. The accounting profession has a responsibility to serve the public interest; this facilitates the expectations that sustainability issues are included in the scope of accounting work. Similarly, sustainability skills and competencies are relevant to every discipline and profession since the issues are recognised as complex, interconnected, and multi-disciplinary. The study focuses on the professional training stages of professional accounting education using case studies of the UK and Nigeria. The integration of sustainability into professional accounting education will enable professional accounting practice to evolve and contribute positively to society's assessment of accountability, reporting and other significant public interest responsibilities.
