An investigation into the practices of academics in Departments of Accounting at South African universities : the pressures on educators of professionals to meet the requirements of their profession and those of an academic institution simultaneously

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 83-93). / This study investigates and describes the practices of academics in Departments of Accounting at South African universities in order to identify and analyse pressures on educators of professionals. The strong control exercised by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) on the curriculum of undergraduate and post-graduate programmes offered at South African universities leading to the Chartered Accountant (CA) qualification and the requirement by research-led universities for academics to produce quality research together create tension between the academic titles of research and teaching, in the context of educating for a profession.
