The development of generic skills (often referred to as 'soft
skills') in accounting education has been a focus of discussion and
debate for several decades. During this time employers and
professional bodies have urged accounting educators to consider and
develop curricula which provide for the development and assessment
of these skills. In addition, there has been criticism of the
quality of accounting graduates and their ability to operate
effectively in a global economy. Embedding generic skills in the
accounting curriculum has been acknowledged as an appropriate means
of addressing the need to provide 'knowledge professionals' to meet
the needs of a global business environment. Personal Transferable
Skills in Accounting Education illustrates how generic skills are
being embedded and evaluated in the accounting curriculum by
academics from a range of perspectives. Each chapter provides an
account of how the challenge of incorporating generic skills in the
accounting curriculum within particular educational environments
has been addressed. The challenges involved in generic skills
development in higher education have not been limited to the
accounting discipline. This book provides examples which
potentially inform a wide range of discipline areas. Academics will
benefit from reading the experiences of incorporating generic
skills in the accounting curriculum from across the globe. This
book was originally published as a themed issue of Accounting
Education: an international journal.
