    Exploring the influence of students’ Grade 12 Accounting knowledge on their academic success in a B. Com Accounting degree at a university in the Western Cape
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Williams, Badrunessa; Dos Reis, Karen
    Studies conducted nationally found that students with Matric Accounting knowledge performed significantly better than students without it in universitylevel Accounting modules (Baard, Steenkamp and Kidd 2010; Papageorgiou 2017; Steenkamp, Baard and Frick 2009). However, the reality at South African universities is that Accounting as a school subject is not always a requirement to pursue BCom Accounting studies. This situation means that at certain universities, Accounting as a school subject is not taken into consideration for this degree, while this is the case at some universities.
