Abstract

Continuing professional development (CPD) plays an important role in maintaining professional competency of the accounting academics. The main aim of undertaking CPD is to acquire new technical knowledge pertaining to a certain profession. This study intends to investigate the existing literature on CPD of accounting academics. In reviewing the relevant literature, we have particularly concentrated on these journals- 1) Accounting Education; 2) Journal of Accounting Education; 3) Teachers and Teaching; and 4) Teaching and Teacher Education. The available studies have been classified into three categories and recommendations for the future research work are provided.
