Transformation for accounting practices is now being driven forward by the rapid pace at which technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and blockchain develop. Similarly, these will provoke significant shifts in accounting education. This paper discusses how these emerging technologies can affect accounting curricula, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities inherent in such integration. Three key barriers identified are that educators resist technological change; resources are not accessible due to digital divides; equal access to educational tools across levels is compromised. The study emphasizes the need for continuous learning and data literacy among students to prepare them for the changing demands of the field. The article offers recommendations for educators and institutions on how to effectively integrate technology into their programs, such as strategies to address resistance, improve access to digital tools, and promote equitable learning opportunities. It concludes by discussing implications for future research, including the assessment of the effectiveness of technology integration, consideration of ethical issues related to AI and automation, and forecasting future trends in accounting education. These insights are hoped to assist educators and policymakers in designing curricula that equip students with the skills needed to thrive in a technology-driven accounting landscape.
