Abstract The study conducted a gender-based analysis on the educational background including competencies and the employability of the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) graduates from the College of Business, Economics and Accountancy (CBEA) of MMSU for Academic Years 2014-2015 to 2017-2018.
The research employed a descriptive-quantitative design, which utilized a survey questionnaire to gather data from 65 randomly selected graduates out of a total population of 169. The data collection was facilitated through Google Forms. Descriptive statistics, specifically frequency distribution, percentages and ranks were used to analyze the data.
The findings revealed that more than half of the respondents graduated as cum laude and magna cum laude and that more than half of them passed the Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants (LECPA). The primary motivation for pursuing the BSA degree was influenced by parents or relatives, and many graduates pursued further training and advanced studies for professional development. The respondents deemed the competencies acquired during their academic training to be highly relevant, especially in the areas of critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. The study also found out that majority of the BSAcc graduates were employed, predominantly holding permanent positions as accounting staff in the private sector, especially in consulting firms with monthly gross earnings ranging from Php 25,001 to Php 35,000. Notably, many respondents were not in their first jobs, their decision of changing job is influenced by salaries and benefits.
The study highlights the necessity of continuous feedback from graduates to improve the BSAcc curriculum, aligning with industry requirements. This feedback is important for developing a more relevant and effective educational program that further enhances the employability and competencies of future graduates, which ensures they meet the evolving demands of the labor market.
