Abstract
This paper analyzes whether the technological skills developed by final-year students of 1st cycle courses in Accounting, at Portuguese public polytechnic higher education, correspond to the expectations of employers, identifying possible significant differences of opinion. Through parametric tests, it was found that both students and employers consider that Excel, communication software, and Microsoft Office are the most developed skills throughout the training course. There were differences in perception in the skills of Microsoft Office, Cloud Computing, CRM, ERP, Business Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, Predictive Analysis, Data Modeling, XBRL, and Data Science skills.
Keywords: Higher Education, Accounting, Technological Skills, Students.
