Abstract
This study aims to examine the gap between academic accounting curricula and the evolving requirements of the labor market in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and financial technologies (FinTech), adopting a prospective analytical approach. The study employs a descriptive-analytical methodology, drawing on a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed literature indexed in the Scopus database for the period 2020–2024, in addition to international professional reports. Findings reveal that accounting programs in most universities remain confined to conventional frameworks, lacking substantive integration of big data analytics, AI, blockchain, and robotic process automation (RPA), resulting in a widening skills gap between educational outputs and employer expectations. The study concludes with strategic recommendations including the redesign of accounting curricula, the development of strategic academic-industry partnerships, and the updating of program accreditation standards to reflect digital economy requirements. The study offers a comprehensive prospective vision to guide sustainable accounting education policies in line with global professional transformations.
