Abstract

This exploratory study investigates current accounting research with the aims: (a) to provide a picture of the evolutions in accounting technology that allow the reliable and real-time financial communication (b) to draw attention on the educational needs of future accountants by exploring whether there is a disconnect between technological trends in accounting reporting and accounting education. The research covered the period from 2013 to the first quarter of 2019 and reviewed the literature on technological accounting reporting tools and the literature on corresponding accounting education research. Comparison of research topics revealed four neglected topics in accounting education research: social media, big data, Blockchain technology and cloud accounting. The added value of this study is the identification of the research gap, the contribution towards their purposeful integration and the initiation of further research both for accounting reporting technologies and the accounting education research.
