Abstract
The dynamic economic environment we encounter today is more financially driven rather than trade driven and due to this transformation there are greater concerns on higher education degree programs in accounting and finance. This study compares accounting and finance bachelor’s degree programs offered by Sri Lankan and Australian universities. 18 universities are selected from the two countries as the sample of this study. Comparison is first made at national policy level and then at programs level by analysing related national frameworks, curriculums of related special/major bachelor’s degree programs. Consequently, similarities, differences, strengths and weaknesses of programs offered by two countries are identified as a mean of lessons to be learned from each other.
