ACCOUNTING EDUCATION IN NIGERIA: A NEED FOR SYNERGY
Abstract
This study employed the empirical survey to investigate the educational system at the higher institutions and professional levels in Nigeria. The role of Nigerian higher institutions has significantly provoked development of accounting profession. The educational system has evolved, but the relationship between the profession and the universities continues to be problematic for the accounting profession to achieve its goals in Nigerian economic development. There is a weak nexus between instruction, practice and research, lack of balance of theory and practice in curriculum, University rules and regulations are rigid and no dedicated effort for doctoral research. Accounting professional bodies are at rivalry and have little linkage with existing research findings and innovations in accounting. What is required is a dynamic development of curriculum, a good synergy of research and practice in Accounting.
