Abstract

Blockchain is characterized as a disruptive technology in many sectors, including accounting and auditing. Despite blockchain’s great potential, several studies point out that tangible applications in accounting and auditing are slow to develop and to become widespread. This article looks at the practices and strategies of blockchain education in university accounting courses. We study the curricula of the world’s top 50 universities (Shanghai Ranking) and identify five types of course approaches: 1) The professional practice; 2) The dual or triple competency; 3) The entrepreneurship and business; 4) The sector-specific; 5) The critical thinking and holistic. We discuss these results in terms of isomorphism and distinctions between universities and propose an agenda for research on blockchain education in accounting.
