Effective pre-class learning is essential to ensuring students still learn the basic class content that has been removed from a classroom to free up time for more active learning activities. If pre-class learning is not achieved, the value of the flipped classroom strategy is diminished. Through a review of existing literature, we provide accounting educators with a practical design guide for effectively implementing best-practices pre-class work in flipped classrooms. This article provides resources, design recommendations, and examples of flipped classroom implementation in an accounting education setting to foster more effective pre-class learning. We conclude with a call for research on various aspects of the flipped classroom in accounting education.","PeriodicalId":46324,"journal":{"name":"ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42990850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from 14 countries and 186 institutions, we compare ChatGPT and student performance for 28,085 questions from accounting assessments and textbook test banks. As of January 2023, ChatGPT provides correct answers for 56.5 percent of questions and partially correct answers for an additional 9.4 percent of questions. When considering point values for questions, students significantly outperform ChatGPT with a 76.7 percent average on assessments compared to 47.5 percent for ChatGPT if no partial credit is awarded and 56.5 percent if partial credit is awarded. Still, ChatGPT performs better than the student average for 15.8 percent of assessments when we include partial credit. We provide evidence of how ChatGPT performs on different question types, accounting topics, class levels, open/closed assessments, and test bank questions. We also discuss implications for accounting education and research.","PeriodicalId":46324,"journal":{"name":"ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46591678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case requires you to apply a rule of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) to a practical business situation. As you complete the case you will become more comfortable with reading and interpreting IRC rules and applying them in business settings. You will also become more familiar with common payroll withholding categories and you will gain experience writing tax-related memoranda.","PeriodicalId":46324,"journal":{"name":"ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42360696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss our maturing understanding of the barriers preventing our students from securing internships, and detail the curricular and structural support changes put into place to overcome these obstacles so other institutions can replicate this initiative. Specifically, we highlight the evolution of the program from one focused on equality to one designed to provide equitable opportunities for all students, including those from underrepresented populations. Further, we provide evidence of our program’s success and reflect on its limitations. Finally, we offer supplemental materials for educators to leverage in consideration of their own internship program offerings.","PeriodicalId":46324,"journal":{"name":"ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42908179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case study examines the issue of transfer pricing for use in Advanced Accounting and Advanced Tax courses. It can also be used to apply ethical frameworks to accounting decisions. After completing this case, students will be able to explain why companies and tax jurisdictions care about transfer pricing, the alternatives available for setting transfer prices, and the importance of tax planning for multinational corporations.
