The study investigated the effects of Integrated Instructional Model on Students achievement in Advanced Financial Accounting in Nigerian Universities. Poor performance of students in advanced financial accounting informed the study. The study employed a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. The sample for the study comprised of five hundred and thirty seven (537) final year students drawn from four universities in the South-East Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria. Three research questions and three null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. Data on students' achievement in advanced financial accounting were collected using accounting achievement test. Data were analysed using mean, standard deviation and analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). Result revealed that the Integrated Instructional Model (IIM) is superior to the conventional teaching method in enhancing achievement in advanced financial accounting. It also revealed that IIM has no significant differential effect on the mean achievement scores of males and females in advanced financial accounting. The test of interaction revealed that gender had no significant interaction with teaching methods on achievement in advanced financial accounting. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the IIM should be incorporated in financial accounting curriculum in order to enhance students' achievement.
