Overview: The Accounting Education Change Commission has recommended accounting courses include a focus on non-technical skills, such as written and oral communication, teamwork, problem solving, and critical thinking skills. Employers of entry-level managerial accountants have indicated these skills are necessary, but that students are also lacking in technical cost or managerial accounting preparation. To address these concerns, students enrolled in an introductory managerial accounting course were given the management accounting simulation by Kenneth R. Goosen to supplement the managerial accounting textbook, i.e., Managerial Accounting, 10th Edition, by Garrison and Noreen. This paper will discuss the implementation of the simulation into the course as well as students opinions on various aspects of the simulation experience.
