Abstract

Responsible business practices have emerged as a central expectation of modern economies, driven by corporate scandals, environmental challenges, social inequality, and heightened stakeholder scrutiny. Accounting, as the language of business, plays a pivotal role in shaping transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within organizations. Consequently, accounting education carries a critical responsibility in preparing future professionals who not only possess technical expertise but also demonstrate ethical judgment, social awareness, and sustainability-oriented thinking. This paper examines the role of accounting education in promoting responsible business by integrating ethics, sustainability, corporate governance, and stakeholder accountability into curricula and pedagogy. Using a conceptual and literature-based approach, the study reviews how accounting education influences responsible business behavior through curriculum design, pedagogical strategies, assessment mechanisms, and professional alignment. A conceptual framework is proposed linking accounting education inputs to responsible business outcomes. The paper concludes with implications for educators, institutions, and policymakers, emphasizing the need for holistic, values-driven accounting education to support long-term economic and social well-being
