摘要

近年來台灣企業面臨許多改變，包括企業逐漸轉型為大型跨國企業，企業自動化，及企業資金外移造成失業人口的增加等，都對會計人員有極大的衝擊。因此，目前大學會計系開設的課程，是否可給予會計系畢業生足夠的競爭優勢，實為會計界重要的議題。本研究以問卷方式，首先探討會計實務界及學術界對會計系學生應修學科及應加強科目之看法。依據填答者之回函，本研究除將各學科之重要性依序排列之外，並按一般知識能力、電腦相關知識、管理相關知識、數量方法、財經相關知識及會計相關知識分類。其次，本研究比較下列各類別間對初級會計人員應修課程是否有不同看法：（1）企業界、會計師界、及學術界間，（2）製造業、服務業、及金融業間，（3）大、小事務所間，（4）大、中型企業間，（5）台灣會計師與美國會計師間。最後，本研究探討會計系畢業生實際具備之能力與實務界之預期是否有所差異，研究結果發現，最重要的三十門課程均有加強的必要。本研究結果除可提供學校會計系開課之參考外，學生也可依自己之生涯規劃，在課程安排上預先做準備。
