Call for Papers

AI and Digital Transformation and Accounting Education

Journal: Accounting Education

Publisher: Taylor & Francis

Submission deadline: 31 July 2026

This special issue examines how AI, especially generative AI, is reshaping accounting education, teaching practice, assessment, and the future skills expected of accounting graduates. It argues that accounting educators must rethink what they teach, how they teach, and how they assess students in an age where AI is already changing professional expectations and classroom practice.

The call emphasizes that AI raises both opportunities and challenges: it can improve assessment design, streamline teaching tasks, and support creativity, but it also creates concerns around ethics, access, learning quality, and the role of human judgment. The special issue seeks research that helps accounting educators, students, professional bodies, firms, and universities respond effectively to digital transformation.
