Using “Training Enterprises” in Accounting Education at the Unwe – Sofia

The Faculty of Finance and Accounting (FFA) and the Department of Accounting and Analysis at UNWE initiated the use of “training enterprises” in the training of accounting students. This project was aimed at exploring a way of improving the relationship between “business education” and “accounting” in order to allow students to acquire practical skills by working in a training company. For this purpose a training company was created by following all national economic regulations and legislation that are applicable to real business. The “training enterprise” is a practical tool for training and a place to work and learn through the use of all documentation, all procedures and programs applied in the real business, but without real money and goods. As a result, skills develop which make students trained in the training enterprise competitive on the labor market.
