Abstract
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.
