Abstract

Sustainability-driven economies are reshaping the role of accounting professionals across the globe. Accountants are increasingly expected to support sustainable value creation by integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into financial decision-making, reporting, and assurance. However, traditional accounting education remains predominantly focused on financial performance and regulatory compliance, often neglecting sustainability competencies. This paper examines how accounting education can be re-designed to prepare graduates for sustainability-driven economies. Drawing on an extensive review of academic literature, professional frameworks, and educational theory, the study develops a comprehensive pedagogical model that integrates sustainability knowledge, ethical reasoning, and systems thinking into accounting curricula. The paper discusses curriculum design, teaching methodologies, assessment practices, and institutional challenges, offering practical recommendations for educators, professional bodies, and policymakers. The study contributes to accounting education literature by providing a structured roadmap for developing sustainability-ready accounting graduates.
