EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Anecdotal evidence points toward a growing gap between the information technology (IT) skills demanded of management accountants and those supplied by higher education. To ascertain how much and which IT skills are taught in management accounting courses, we sent a comprehensive, Web-based management accounting/IT survey to management accounting educators in the colleges and universities of North America. The analysis of survey data reveals that the extent of IT content in management accounting curricula leaves much to be desired. We discuss implications of the survey findings and suggest directions for restructuring management accounting curricula.
