As the accounting profession continues to evolve, faculty are rethinking how to prepare students for a workforce shaped by technology, data, and changing professional expectations. This session introduces the EY Accounting Research Center (EYARC) and its growing portfolio of classroom‑ready resources supporting engaged, profession‑focused learning across the accounting curriculum.
Participants will explore resources and how faculty are using the EYARC materials—available at no cost to not‑for‑profit higher education institutions—to support learning around generative AI, analytics, ethics, and more. The session highlights how these modular resources are designed to easily embed into existing courses while helping students build judgment, curiosity, adaptability, and other career‑ready skills.
