Drawing on insights from accounting education research, this paper explores teaching and assessment innovative in management accounting. As the management accounting discipline evolves in response to changing business environments and technological advancements, traditional pedagogical methods and forms of assessment are being reassessed. The paper examines how innovative teaching strategies, including for example active learning (Castilla-Polo et al., 2022), action-based research (Frick and Waters, 2020) and the integration of digital tools and data analytics (Loftus et al, 2023; Sidorova et al., 2024), can enhance student engagement, promote deeper learning and critical thinking, and better prepare management accounting professionals for the workplace. By incorporating real-world scenarios (Rankin et al, 2023), innovations in management accounting teaching and assessment serve to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Drawing on developments in the field, the paper calls for academics to reimagine management accounting education to ensure its continued relevance in the contemporary business landscape.
