Barriers to Accounting: Australian Indigenous Students' Experience
Australian Indigenous people are under-represented in accounting studies and in the accounting profession. As part of an investigation of the cause of this situation such that it can be overcome, this project addresses the relevant study choices of high-school students in Darwin. Through semi-structured interviews with students and teachers, it is found that diverse cultural issues have significant impact on Indigenous students' study options and study success, that there are important differences between urban Indigenous students and remote Indigenous students, and that addressing merely attendance, literacy and numeracy issues is unlikely to make an impact on students' study choices as they relate to accounting.
