Abstract
 
A number of recent research studies have examined the skills and abilities that management accounting students will need when they enter the workplaces. The authors believe that the role of the management accounting has changed and that accounting curricula should reflect this new role. Here they present the results of their examination of seven popular cost/ management accounting textbooks and 20 course syllabi to see if the new role is reflected in them.
