Strategies and Prompting in the Accounting Classroom

Transforms accounting education by providing practical frameworks and strategies for integrating artificial intelligence while supporting professional judgment and ethical decision-making

Strategies and Prompting in the Accounting Classroom: Harnessing AI for Effective Learning provides a practical, research-informed guide for transforming how accounting is taught and learned in the digital era. The book confronts a pressing challenge: accounting education has not evolved as rapidly as the technologies reshaping the profession. AI is now integral to auditing, financial reporting, and analytics, yet many classrooms remain rooted in traditional approaches.
Dr. Mfon Akpan addresses this gap by offering educators, administrators, and researchers a clear, tactical framework for integrating AI into accounting education. Drawing from both academic research and applied experience, he demonstrates how AI tools can elevate critical thinking, improve engagement, and enhance the relevance of accounting coursework. The book goes beyond theory to present case studies, classroom strategies, and step-by-step models that educators can adopt immediately.
Covering topics such as generative AI, ethical considerations, audit automation, and curriculum innovation, the book emphasizes both opportunity and responsibility. Readers gain insights into how AI supports, not replaces, professional judgment and ethical decision-making. By linking the evolution of accounting education to technological advancement, this work reimagines how students and professionals are prepared for an AI-empowered world.
Written in a direct, forward-looking style, Strategies and Prompting in the Accounting Classroom: Harnessing AI for Effective Learning equips readers to lead change and ensures accounting education remains relevant, rigorous, and future-ready.
