How can accounting educators prepare their students for firms seeking recent graduates well-versed in data analytic technologies? Cory Ng evaluates the success of his own curriculum in teaching students about data analytics in accounting.
Students in Ng’s class show significant improvements in understanding concepts such as robotic process automation, artificial intelligence, and using business intelligence tools for data analysis. Ng offers a blueprint–syllabus, rubrics, final group project, assignments–that other professors can use to create their own accounting curriculums.
