title: A gap in management accounting education: Fact or fiction?

authors: Botes, Vida

subjects: accounting education

abstract: Purpose: The aim of this paper is to identify and gain insights into the gap that persists between management accounting education and practice.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: Management accounting education is examined from the four perspectives of the balanced scorecard: customer satisfaction, learning and growth, internal business and finance. The academics and practicing management accountants were selected randomly from the South African community for the study.
Findings: The study establishes that differences exist between the perception of academics and practitioners regarding the perceived role of management accountants in business today.
Research limitations/ implications: As one of the few studies on gaps between management accounting education and practice, the study provides insights to the potential gaps. The findings serve as a basis for further empirical and theoretical enquiries.
Originality/ Value: The study extends the management accounting literature by suggesting that management accounting students are not developed with required skills to face the challenges in today’s business environment.

title: An AR memory app based on Māori mnemonic aids

authors: Taia, Ivy

subjects: computer science

abstract: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a world-wide “silent epidemic” causing a variety of memory issues for those affected. Although several software approaches aim to aid memory recollection, they are inadequate for many TBI survivors and none address aspects of cultural awareness in New Zealand. We explored design concepts of traditional Māori cultural tools / techniques and how they helped Māori people recall past information. This paper describes our research and development of Maumahara Papahou, a mobile app that uses Augmented Reality features to create a digital memory treasure box based on the concepts of Māori mnemonic aids.
