Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to determine job preferences among Generation Z students of Finance and Accounting who plan their careers in the area of accounting. This aim was achieved through a study carried out at the Wrocław University of Economics, the Cracow University of Economics, and the University of Lodz with the use of the following research methods: a questionnaire interview, a survey questionnaire. The key findings permit the formulation of new hypotheses which will be verified at the next stage of the undertaken research: (1) international accreditations influence the choice of the development path, (2) a high level of examinations discourages Generation Z students from accreditation, (3) Generation Z students do not plan their career path in detail.
