The present study extended the findings of a previous study that honours programmes provide substantial benefits to faculty academics, students and professional accounting recruiters. Seventy-seven accounting recruiters, 78 faculty academics and 101 honours students were surveyed on the perceived benefits of accounting honours programmes. Significant differences were found between recruiters and academics and between recruiters and honours students on all ratings. Significant differences were found between academics and honours students on five of the seven common statements. The significant differences between the views of recruiters and the other two groups raise an important question concerning accounting education and practice: why are views of recruiters significantly different from those of academics and students?
