Deloitte Canada’s Cocreated ICT Simulation for Advanced Accounting

In business, shift happens fast. Consequently, the accounting profession, including students, must adapt early and often. Fortunately, students reported improved learning and satisfaction through interactive professional learning experiences (Riley, Eldridge, and Venkatesh 2021). This study introduces a cocreated simulation between our university and Deloitte Canada, a professional services firm. A partnership of academics, auditors, and consultants yielded this information communications technology (ICT) business combination simulation for an advanced financial accounting course. Our simulation aimed to empower learners to focus on communicating technical accounting solutions in a professional environment. We also provided a video simulation, solution, and assessment rubric.
