A Importância do ensino da contabilidade nos cursos de administração e ciências econômicas

Abstract

Accounting is present in various sectors of the economy, being fundamental in conducting business. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the perception of the academics of the courses of Business Administration and of Economic Sciences of a Federal University regarding the importance of the teaching of Accounting in their respective courses, in their formation and professional exercise. The survey was carried out through the application of online questionnaires for the academics of the undergraduate courses of Business Administration and Economic Sciences of the Federal University of Grande Dourados, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. In this sense, the research can be classified as descriptive. It is evident that future professionals have a favorable perception of the importance of Accounting in the undergraduate course, besides having several fundamental functions within organizations. The study contributes in terms of compacting or diverging with several other studies that affirmed that it is important to offer accounting teaching in disciplines that may have different nomenclatures, but that have the objective of teaching Accounting to non accountants.
