Abstract

This reflection paper shares the contemporary crossroads on curricular planning in Public Accounting programs. Face to the normative, conceptual and instrumental changes in the profession, the dynamics and institutionality of the university and the challenges of the world, curriculum planning and design are erected as an educational project where the necessary elements are incorporated to prepare the future professional, however, this characterization does not always correspond to social needs. The paper reflects on this topic, shows six key elements to develop curricular planning and some guidelines to develop a graduate profile, in the middle of a complex socio-economic and legal context.
