Abstract

There are a variety of 2-year vocational colleges and 4-year undergraduate universities that offer accounting education. Especially, accounting lessons are mainly studied in faculty of economics and administrative sciences of undergraduate universities and in accounting and tax departments of vocational colleges. The main purpose of these departments is to prepare well-qualified accountants who are good at analytical thinking, basic knowledge and skills and that meet employer demand for intermediate staff. For this purpose, a survey was conducted among 1.058 students in the spring semester of 2015-2016.As a result of the study, it was determined that the lesson materials in accounting education are inadequate, the theoretical lessons are not sufficient and the physical environment conditions are not suitable for the practical exercises. Therefore, the students indicate that they would not be able to fulfil the job requirements after their education. However, if the opinions and view of students about the profession are considered, the majority think that being an accountant is a current, preferred and suitable for future career.
