Shaari}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This study analyses the perceptions of secondary school students about the accounting profession in Malaysia. Fifty five form three and form four students who are taking accounting/commerce subjects were met. Individual-s perception data were collected through questionnaires. The results at the secondary school level suggest that the stereotypical negative image of the accountant ends, with students expressing the positive view of the work of an accountant. There were also gender differences in perceiving the accounting profession. Overall, the results of the study suggest that we are now in line in projecting positive and accurate perceptions of the accounting profession to secondary school students.}, journal = {International Journal of Educational and Pedagogical Sciences}, volume = {6}, number = {12}, year = {2012}, pages = {3725 - 3728}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12978}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/72}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 72, 2012}, }
