Abstract
The accounting profession is rapidly evolving due to technological innovations. There have been calls for universities to ensure that their programs equip accounting students with the relevant technology skills that will prepare them for the workplace of the future. This article introduces an accounting analytics capstone course that was delivered in an experiential-learning approach. Through the student consultancy project in the capstone course, students learn how to solve complex business problems with guidance from the faculty and industry project sponsor mentors, from problem definition to final client presentation. This close collaboration between faculty and project sponsors facilitates the exchange of ideas and knowledge, which integrates theory and practice.
