Abstract

The rapid advancement of blockchain technology is reshaping accounting, auditing, and financial reporting practices by introducing decentralized, transparent, and immutable record-keeping systems. As organizations increasingly adopt blockchain-enabled solutions, the demand for accountants with technological literacy and blockchain competence has grown significantly. However, traditional accounting curricula remain largely theory-driven and insufficiently aligned with these emerging technological realities. This paper examines the necessity of integrating blockchain concepts into accounting curricula, identifies existing gaps in accounting education, and proposes a structured framework for curriculum integration. Using a conceptual research approach supported by prior literature, professional body guidelines, and global best practices, the study highlights pedagogical strategies such as modular integration, experiential learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The paper contributes to accounting education literature by offering a comprehensive roadmap for embedding blockchain knowledge into accounting programs, thereby enhancing graduate employability, professional relevance, and future readiness.
