Building on the June session, this program shifts from introducing the EYARC GenAI enhanced professionalism framework to demonstrating how EYARC content can be applied across the accounting curriculum. We will explore how EYARC resources support learning across the accounting domains, with a focus on strengthening analytical thinking, professional judgment, ethical decision-making, and communication skills.
Throughout the session, we will highlight immersive, real-world cases and assignments that use authentic data and scenarios to bring the profession to life. These examples highlight the breadth of the accounting profession for students. For faculty, we’ll demonstrate how GenAI can be thoughtfully integrated alongside data, analytics, and foundational accounting concepts to create interactive learning experiences that resonate with students.
The emphasis will be on how faculty can move beyond coverage to application by using content that engages students in decision-making, problem-solving, and professional context, whether in introductory or advanced courses.
Participants will see practical examples and leave with ideas they can adapt directly to their own courses, regardless of discipline or experience level with GenAI.
