Abstract
Muhasebe ekonomik ve sosyal gelişimlerle birlikte kapsamı sürekli olarak genişleyen bir meslek dalıdır. Ekonomik ve sosyal gelişmelerin yanında teknolojideki gelişmeler de muhasebe mesleğini etkilemiş ve muhasebe mesleği bu kapsamda dönüşüm geçirmeye başlamıştır. Bilgi teknolojilerinin muhasebe mesleğinin her alanına etkisi muhasebe meslek mensuplarının bilgi, beceri ve yetkinliklerinin de ölçüldüğü muhasebe meslek yeterlilik sınavını da etkilemiştir. Aynı zamanda sürdürebilirlik raporlaması ve denetiminin de muhasebe mesleği içerisinde giderek öneminin artması muhasebe mesleki yeterlilik sınavına etki eden başka bir unsurdur. Çalışmanın amacı bilgi teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerin ve sürdürebilirlik kavramının muhasebe meslek yeterlilik sınavına ne şekilde yansıdığını açıklamak ve bir durum değerlendirmesi sunmaktadır. Çalışmanın muhasebe eğitimine yeni bir bakış açısı katması ve muhasebe mesleğine proaktif bir yaklaşım oluşturması için yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.
