As technology and automation continue to transform the accounting field, the way we teach foundational concepts like debits and credits must evolve. While these concepts are still essential to understanding the double-entry system, educators are shifting toward a more holistic approach that emphasizes systems thinking. Hands-on activities such as accounting equation exercises help students gain a clearer understanding of business transactions and their impact on a company's financial health and performance.

Given that employers are recruiting much earlier in the undergraduate experience, Introductory to Business (ITB) courses play a critical role in building these career-ready skills on day one.
