Dissatisfaction with professional accountant training: the role of learning styles

What is it about?

Graduates seeking to become professional accountants are generally dissatisfied with the learning and training opportunities offered during their early employment years. This may influence them to reassess their career decision. In this article, we argue that one aspect may relate to different learning styles between graduates and their employers/mentors who are tasked with ensuring they receive adequate training and learning opportunities so that they can qualify. Our research shows that this is indeed the case as these graduates prefer quite diverse learning styles, which are typically different from their employers. We argue that different learning styles should be catered for to reduce these graduates' dissatisfaction.
