Abstract
The paper aims to present the direction in which accounting education should proceed to enhance the expertise of accounting works in the new era in which big data is the center. This paper examines the definition and analysis of big data, and reviews the effectiveness through big data development in accounting expertise with specific references. Also, this paper presents some of the plans selected by professional accounting bodies and universities to address the topic of big data in the accounting curriculum. According to the plan, big data could provide a blueprint for the future role of accounting and financial experts. Therefore, what this study suggests is to improve educational content by adding big data topics to current accounting curricula in order to help accounting professionals of future generations prepare for technologies related to big data analysis in advance.
