COVID-19: Managing the Challenges of Professional Accreditation in University Accounting & Finance Departments

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

The UK University sector has suffered enormous upheaval as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a very short space of time, university doors have closed, students have vacated the campus and academic staff have had to move quickly to online platforms to complete their teaching. In the absence of formal campus-based end of semester examinations in May-June and July-August (and possibly longer), academics have had to think about how to best assess their student cohorts. As a subject area, accounting has been particularly affected by the pandemic given the need to not only meet subject learning outcomes, but also the need to address the accreditation requirements of the UK professional bodies. This article provides a discussion of the challenges of Professional Accreditation in University Accounting and Finance Departments.
