Abstract:  
International research findings and anecdotal evidence alike suggest that new accountancy graduates often
begin their careers with inadequate oral communication skills. However, there is a lack of well-grounded
empirical data concerning precisely what accountancy employers mean by "oral communication" and what
specific skills they value most highly. This article describes a research project investigating the importance of 27
oral communication skills for students intending to begin an accountancy career in New Zealand, as perceived
by chartered accountancy professionals. It also examines how frequently accountancy employers are finding
these desired skills in new graduates. The findings reported in this study offer important guidance concerning
the oral communication skills that new graduates will find most useful in the New Zealand accountancy
workplace and suggest useful directions for accountancy students internationally. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
