THE PROBLEMS OF
TEACHING AND LEARNING OF ACCOUNTING
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE
STUDY
Accounting as one of the subjects in business education, has
functions of developing in individuals, skills, knowledge, attitudes and values
towards solving problems and towards satisfaction of real needs in life.
Accounting is a very important branch of business education in which much of
our daily life is governed and attached, by the results and application of
business.
The National Council of Education (NCE) in 2007 gave the
approval to the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC),
the government agency saddled with the responsibility of developing curriculum
for schools in Nigeria to review the existing senior secondary school education
(SSE) curriculum (Ahmed-Rufai, 2010). The author further affirmed that the new
curriculum was set to meet up with both national and global challenges and
issues.
Bakare (2007) reported that investors in Nigeria have lost
several billions of dollars through the collusion of accountants and external
auditors with companies’ management and directors to falsify and deliberately
overstate companies’ accounts.
These collapses or systemic failures, as the broad range of
financial scandals exposed in the early years of the 21st century have brought
into sharp focus and over a more concentrated timescale, issues of
long-standing debate (Brown, 2005) including: audit and accounting regulation;
auditor independence; earnings management; and audit and audit firm quality
controls.
One of the difficulties of evaluating the veracity of these
claims, and the validity of the counter claims, is that moral scheme and codes
of ethics have undergone changes over time. Prior research on ethics and the
profession of accountancy has come from a wide range of disciplines and has
focused on a broad range of issues.
It is widely acknowledged that the accounting profession is
an important facet of our society (Wyatt, 2004).Accounting emerged from the
society; Hines (1988) stated that accounting is socially constructed and
socially constructing. This implies that accounting influences society and
accounting is influenced by society. In the last decade, studies have shown
that the accounting profession has had to deal with a lot of challenges than it
has done in its lengthy history which spans over one Hundred years (Mactosh et
al., 2010). This period has been characterized by series of business failures,
ethical negligence and accounting scandals both in developed economies and
developing economies. Publicized cases of the recent past, such as Satyam,
Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Adelphia Communications, HIH, Tyco, and
Vivendi, Royal hold and HealthSouth
together with a host of companies from Nigeria (such as, Cadbury and NAMPAK),
have drawn increasing attention to the accounting profession. This has had a
negative and cumulative impact on the way informed opinions view the
accounting profession. There has been
great apprehension regarding the fairness of the operation of a market system
where shareholders, employees in general and pensioners have lost large sums,
while those running companies, are seen as responsible for those losses, have
enriched themselves as the businesses collapsed. In doubt if Nigerian related
research efforts are adequate to fully address the challenges of enforcing
ethical guidelines in financial reporting and auditing.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Brown (2005) posited that various business failures have led
to increased scrutiny of deficiencies in the financial reporting process and
corporate disclosure requirements of corporate organizations. This has had a
negative and cumulative impact on the perceived credibility of financial
reporting.
This concern is now at the forefront of public debate about
the accounting profession and its effectiveness (IFAC, 2003). There has been a
decline in reporting credibility across capital markets worldwide, with the
attempts by professional accounting bodies and professional accounting firms to
change these widely held perceptions of accounting and accountants have met
with limited success (Warren & Parker, 2009). In Nigeria public perception
about accounting and accountant decline.
The researcher wishes to find solution to the following
problem:
Whether students’ seriousness affect teaching and learning of
accounting in Nigerian universities.
Whether the nature of lecture time-table affect the teaching
and learning of accounting.
Whether the environment affect the teaching and learning of
accounting.
Is accounting profession important in Nigeria’s development.
Whether the problem of teaching and learning of accounting
can be corrected.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF
THE STUDY
One of the aims of this study is to investigate the
perception of the public attitudes towards the accounting profession in
societal development.
The specific objective is to:
(i) To determine
to what extent Student seriousness affect teaching and learning accounting in
delta state university Asaba campus.
(ii) To determine
whether the nature of lecture time table affect the teaching and learning
accounting in delta state university Asaba campus
(iii) To determine
whether the environment of learning affect the teaching and learning of
accounting in Nigeria universities
1.4 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
John (2010) posited that the research question is a
methodological point of departure of scholarly research in both the natural and
social sciences. It’s an important step to providing sound conceptual
foundation for one’s research, in that, it stream lines the whole work into a
set of questions:
(i) Does student seriousness affect teaching and learning
accounting in delta state
university Asaba campus?
(ii) How does the
nature of lecture time table affect the teaching and learning accounting in
delta state university Asaba campus?
(iii) How does the environment of learning, affect the
teaching and learning of accounting in Nigeria universities?
