Abstract
Using questionnaire survey, this study examines whether there is any significant difference in the students’ perception of accounting career caused by cultural differences as differentiated by gender. The results do not show any significant difference between male and female students perception in accounting career choice. This study also examines students’ perception on important criteria in salary determination and factors which they perceive to be important in the chosen career. The results provide useful insights to relevant institutions in formulating plans so as to overcome gender differences in perception on accounting career.
