Abstract
In the era of the new information technologies, in order to benefit from their deployment and create more value to the businesses, accountants should develop new skills and competences in Big Data and data analytics. Accounting educators are experiencing high pressure to enhance the technological content of accounting courses. Programmes’ curricula and modules’ syllabi should be adapted to the current labour market requirements and employers’ expectations from graduates. This paper is aiming to present different approaches and few good practices of integrating Big Data Analytics into the accounting curriculum. Moreover, the experience of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Sofia University „St. Kliment Ohridski”, is shared with the purpose to attract academics’ and practitioners’ attention and to initiate further discussions on this hot topic.
