Accounting educators are challenged to transform accounting higher education to engage today's technologically-savvy students and prepare them for a career in accounting. Research shows that educators are incorporating new instructional models, delivery methods, and technology in accounting programs. The problem is accounting educators are challenged to stay abreast of the innovations and determine which are best for teaching desired content in a way that engages students. This research concerned a relatively new instructional model that incorporated an accounting laboratory resource in a graduate accounting program. The specific problem addressed was educators' concerns about stakeholders' perceptions of the graduate accounting laboratory resource as an instructional model. The purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to explore how graduate students and faculty perceived the laboratory as an instructional model. Eight graduate students and three faculty members who had interacted in connection with the graduate accounting laboratory at the study site were selected and data was collected through individual, semi-structured interviews. Each participant comprised a unit of analysis for this study and themes were identified through data analysis. Participants perceived the graduate accounting laboratory as a beneficial model for practicing and learning course content introduced in other graduate courses, preparing for the CPA Exam, and for peer collaboration. Participants also most often identified content from other graduate courses, exercises for personal skill development, and tasks involving peer and instructor collaboration as laboratory content that was valued. Future research is suggested to identify the factors that influence faculty and students' perceptions of the benefits of a graduate accounting laboratory and value of laboratory content. In addition, research is needed to understand the relationships between perceptions of the laboratory and content most valued. Finally, research is suggested to explore post-graduate perceptions of the laboratory and value of content after students have entered the workforce. Such research projects may be useful in designing a graduate accounting laboratory that aligns the benefits of the laboratory with the most-valued activities and content.
