Aims and Objectives: The overall objective of the project is to address a gap in Higher Education by creating an internationally-oriented learning platform in accountancy that facilitates current essential hard and soft skills development for early career professionals. The project aims to develop a teaching concept that facilitates the development of all competencies to meet the current and future demands in the profession and significantly enhance the employability of engaged students. The technological changes in the profession require graduates to be more digitally competent, commercially and internationally aware, analytical and resilient. The teaching concept will have to take the changing environment into account. Working as an accountancy professional requires interdisciplinary thinking and problem solving skills, as well as understanding accountancy in different cultures and legislations.
