labour market. The study collects data from 914 respondents from the three main stakeholders –

of the opinion that the education was capable of meeting the unique requirements of the labour
market in Saudi Arabia. A few suggestions are also presented, which would help improve the outcomes
of the accounting programs and make the graduates employable.
