Abstract

This study aims to explore the influence of accountant training on promoting sustainable practices in corporate governance using a systematic literature review through the guidance of the PRISMA framework. The study contains 265 peer-reviewed journal articles which were analyzed to identify key themes that are in relation with accountant training, integration of sustainable practices in corporate governance and the existing challenges and gaps. Findings of this study reveal that trainings on sustainable practices, delivered through formal education, continuous professional practices and ethical training enhances accountants’ ability to support accountability, transparency as well as ESG reporting. However, the inconsistency in offering an in-depth training couple with limited empirical evidence continues to exist. This SLR offers implications for stakeholders such as accounting professional, educators, and policy makers with emphases in the need for integrated, outcome-driven training models to strengthen sustainability in governance. The study also acknowledges academic limitations as it relies only on secondary data, leaving behind empirical data and quantitative analysis. It has been suggested to future researchers to adopt empirical and longitudinal studies to fill this gap.
