Abstract

ABSTRACT The recent implementation of IES 2 and AACSB 7 has reinforced the importance of the development of ICT skills in accounting students and ensuring that they are work-ready for the demands of today's profession (AACSB 2020; IFAC 2019). This paper provides an overview of an assignment that we have introduced in an online graduate accounting course, which encompasses Excel, Xero, and Tableau software. Excel provides our students with the opportunity to develop skills in spreadsheets and applying formulas to work with financial data. Xero provides our students with an opportunity to get first-hand experience with a commercial cloud-based accounting software product and, finally, Tableau provides our students with skills in the utilization of visualization software. Our assignment features both team and individual components. An online course featuring a computer-based assignment provides a unique learning environment for the student.
