Abstract

How graduates fare in the actual world of work and in professional examinations are concerns of an educational institution. Past researches show gaps between academic competence and workplace competence. Foreign accountancy journals mention similar competence gaps. These observations and remarks have led to the recommendation that the academe and the workplace jointly find means to bridge the gap between academic preparation and practical application. How do Accountancy graduates of De La Salle University (DLSU) fare in so far as competence in audit work is concerned? Has their accounting education at DLSU adequately prepared them to cope with various practical situations of audit work and the CPA board examinations? This study was undertaken to analyze and predict the performance of DLSU Accountancy graduates in auditing firms and in Auditing Theory & Auditing Problem in the CPA board examinations.
