Abstract

The accounting profession is undergoing a profound transformation driven by digitalization, globalization, sustainability imperatives, and heightened stakeholder expectations. Traditional accounting education—largely centered on financial reporting, auditing, and taxation—is increasingly insufficient to prepare graduates for complex, multidisciplinary professional environments. This paper examines the role of interdisciplinary learning in modern accounting programs, emphasizing how the integration of disciplines such as information technology, data analytics, economics, law, ethics, sustainability, and behavioral sciences enhances graduate competence, adaptability, and professional judgment. Using a conceptual and literature-based approach, the study analyzes key models of interdisciplinary curriculum design, pedagogical strategies, and assessment mechanisms adopted globally. The paper further proposes an Interdisciplinary Accounting Education Framework (IAEF) that aligns accounting education with international competency standards and labor market needs. Findings suggest that interdisciplinary learning significantly improves problem-solving ability, ethical reasoning, communication skills, and employability, while also strengthening the public-interest role of the accounting profession. Practical implications are discussed for universities, faculty members, professional bodies, and policymakers seeking to modernize accounting education without diluting its disciplinary rigor.
