Abstract

Professional accountants are an indispensable component of high-quality human capital for a nation to grow sustainably. Because there is a need for more professional accountants in Malaysia and because accounting businesses are constantly striving to acquire talented graduates to preserve their competitive advantage, the quality and marketability of accounting graduates are given a lot of weight in this study. On the other hand, some believe that employers, industries, and accounting graduates have different basic accounting competencies. Furthermore, it appears that academics are given too much weight in undergraduate business education, to the detriment of progressively preparing students for skill training that won't meet employers' needs. The study's objectives are to find out what the Malaysian accounting industry requires of its graduates and to provide a model for creating accounting program curricula at colleges and universities. This will increase the marketability and competitiveness of accounting graduates. This study examined the relationship between the independent variables of technical skill, information technology skill, interpersonal skill, intellectual skill, and industry expectations. Employers or industries within the registered accounting firms in Negeri Sembilan received a questionnaire from this survey. After that, a statistical program created specifically for the social sciences is used to assess the data and generate conclusions (SPSS). Despite a positive correlation, the results indicate that not all of the independent and dependent variables have significant relationships. Additionally, an investigation was carried out to ascertain the comparative importance of every standalone component in clarifying the employer's anticipations.
