Stumbling Blocks in the Implementation of Accounting Education Reform: Evidence from Hong Kong

Abstract

In determining whether stumbling blocks exist in the implementation of accounting education reform in Hong Kong, a survey questionnaire was sent to all accounting departments at public universities representing accounting academics, and the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants representing the profession. The survey showed that both were in agreement that the 11 stumbling blocks experienced in the United States (identified through a literature review) are also applicable in Hong Kong, with five being significant.
