To accomplish this requires the synchronization of three factors: learning outcomes, teaching and learning activities and evaluation.
When the output standard changes to suit digital technology, the instructor must also change the teaching method to suit the output standard.
2. The impact of the technological revolution on the organization of the accounting system
Industry 4.0 is a comprehensive technology revolution, combining the digital world with work and life. It is both an opportunity and a challenge for professions in general and the accounting industry in particular. In particular, the challenge of the quality of human resources is tending to increase. Industry 4.0 is likely to lead to a huge reduction in labor, which can cause high unemployment, especially for graduates worldwide.

Internet helps accounting work can solve jobs anywhere not limited by geographical distance.
Access to accounting software makes accounting work more convenient, saves time, costs, improves productivity and quality. Therefore, accountants must study to improve their qualifications, access to science and technology, apply technical advances in professional work, enhance their positions and expand their practice scope.
3. Professional requirements for teaching accounting in the digital era

Always upholding professional ethics, contributing to developing professional skills, experience and vision for accountants. Application of technology in accordance with the trend, saving resources and increasing work efficiency.
Constantly updated technology changes, according to the new version, are created to make the world more modern and sophisticated. Apply accounting software to accounting work to reduce the workload of accounting as well as to manage most effectively.
4. Recruitment needs of businesses in the digital era
Current employers often target suitable candidates with a positive attitude, commitment, ability to learn and develop, through a positive attitude of learning and working, always exploring and learning.

In addition, employers are also paying attention to financial analysis services and financial advisory services because these services benefit businesses.

5. The necessity for changes in accounting training methods
The content of accounting teaching is already very dry, mainly data, vouchers, accounts, accounts, books and reports ... which are not attractive to students in the learning process. Therefore, in order for students to be more receptive and more attracted to studying accounting, lecturers must always learn, research and maintain the knowledge of teaching content to ensure the subject content is always updated. To amend and amend the Law on Tax Law, Accounting Law and the accounting regime in an accurate and practical manner. Prepare powerpoint lectures according to the detailed outline content. The content of the lesson plan must be suggestive, emphasize important issues, take specific examples to illustrate each arising situation. Arrange the duration suitable to each lecture content. Besides, the teaching method is also very important to the success of the lecture, Specifically:
- Teaching content of lecturers must be associated with practice. In the teaching process, lecturers should give many practical examples related to daily work so that students find it close and useful, so that they can clearly see the benefits of learning but have a positive attitude and awareness. in study. For example, when lecturing on how to deposit money into a bank account, the instructor may show the student a "voucher" (this is a familiar document that students may have seen in real time) and professional explanations for students. The instructor can then ask students questions about the fluctuations of the two subjects accounting for cash and bank deposits so that students can practice thinking. It can be said as a way of preaching from vivid visualization to abstract thinking. In order to have time to contact practically, the content of the lecture should be cut down and focus only on the content that is really needed. In fact, we have had to convey too much content in class, so teachers need to be flexible in choosing what is most useful to students.
- Encourage learners to do by themselves by giving teachers questions, situations or practical exercises ... encouraging students to volunteer to respond through incentives such as plus points or some other form of priority. This helps students be active, proactive and positive. Instead, just sit still and absorb with a passive spirit. When encouraged, students will become proactive and learn with a fresh, lively, non-drowsy, unfocused spirit ... In addition, lecturers can give individual or group exercises to Students apply knowledge in theoretical lessons to specific exercises.
- Instructors must always create a positive atmosphere for the lesson. If students always consider learning to be a heavy task, it is not possible to have a positive learning attitude. Therefore, there must be appropriate harmony between learning and playing. When students find joy in learning, learning becomes easier. It is the responsibility of the instructor to make students feel that learning is fun. In order to create a positive and happy atmosphere during lessons, teachers should pay attention: always bring a smile; always friendly through words and eyes; respect and care for students; and especially to flexibly change teaching methods to suit the content of teaching and lively.
- In addition, in the current 4.0 era, lecturers applying information technology to teaching is indispensable to make the quality of teaching improved. Including the application of Google Classroom for education. This application has the following utility:
+ For lecturers: It is possible to organize and manage classes easily and conveniently. Send documents and assign assignments to students quickly. All teaching materials are safely stored at Google Drive and shared to students without having to worry about storage space. Keep track of class situation anywhere via laptop, tablet or phone with internet connection. Can exchange easily with students ...
+ On the student side: Access to class faster convenient during learning. Update announcements and requirements of lecturers anywhere via laptop, tablet or phone with internet connection. Can exchange easily with lecturers ...
- Lecturers should close the lesson content: Help students remember the knowledge they have learned long. For example: Have students write down the main ideas; reiterate, emphasize important content; do multiple choice or essay exercises to practice and also check students' comprehension level.
- Lecturers must check regularly in many ways to assess the level of student acquisition, and attendance to control student attendance.
To ensure that graduates have jobs, the teaching and learning activities of accounting students will need to be adjusted to suit employers and social needs. Accounting graduates need training in universities to become highly qualified staff, able to keep up with Industry 4.0.
Lecturers should equip students with specialized knowledge attached to reality to create a high-quality accounting team, with skills, knowledge of management, contributing to the economic development of the country.
Teaching accounting in the direction of enhancing professional practice has brought many positive benefits for students. Graduates will be equipped with the full knowledge of theory, practice, practical work, and the needs of businesses. The provisions of the law on accounting, tax, accounting software. Teaching methods, skills, self-study, teaching how to use devices and have the ability to adapt quickly to the situation, capable of lifelong learning.
However, teaching and learning activities are interactive from two dimensions. In order to achieve high efficiency, besides the competence, professional knowledge, teaching methods ... of the lecturers, an important dimension is also from the students.
6. Conclusion
It can be said that innovating teaching methods is not an easy problem and cannot be done overnight. Between theory and reality, there is always a need to stick together. If lectures are only theoretical, students will not realize the relationship of the subject with real-life, which means that the lesson is not effective. The problem is how the knowledge that students learn in class can understand and apply in practice when they graduate. Therefore, lecturers in addition to professional knowledge are always strengthened and maintained, but also have to understand and apply flexibly the teaching methods so that they can bring inspiration and passion to students. mine. That is the way to train generations of students with highly specialized, career skills to meet the requirements of businesses.
