The Accounting Education Special Interest Group are a community of like-minded individuals coming together from academia, industry and the accounting profession to collaborate, share and co-create. We aim to improve the quality of accounting education, especially through the development of relevant and innovative curricula, placing a renewed emphasis on effective instruction in accounting programs.

We aim to bring together Australasia's leading Accounting Educators and Researchers in one of the largest communities outside the US.


Join us at The Star on the Gold Coast, Australia, to participate in a symposium on accounting education that celebrates best practice education and research through a program of papers, panel sessions, and presentations by academics and industry. This year the symposium will engage you with the theme ‘Accounting Education and Culture’. We invite participants to explore this theme broadly, considering cultural identity, classroom and learning culture, institutional culture, industry culture and more.

Our keynote speaker for 2023 is Jeremy Khoh, who will address the topic of: Psychologically Safe Leadership and Culture

Our post-SIG dinner will be held Miss Moneypenny’s, Broadbeach. Come along to share your memories and celebrate 25 years of the Accounting Education SIG!
