Abstract

The present study aims at checking if there is an alignment between the understanding of the importance of Accountancy by Accounting College students and those attending other courses at Jaguariuna College/SP. At the beginning, we have tried to find a technical basis in national and international literature, developing a research in reference lists and documents and then we have made an exploratory and descriptive research. We have developed a field research in order to collect information among students attending Accounting, Administration, Computing, Law, Production Engineering and Tourism courses at Jaguariuna College/SP, using a questionnaire to collect data. This questionnaire was elaborated according to the problem, aims and theoretical fundamentals, being directly applied in class. 298 questionnaires were directly applied in class, among students attending 6 courses at Jaguariuna College/SP and the analysis of the results of the research revealed the existence of alignment of understanding of the importance of Accountancy among the Accounting course students and those attending other courses. One can notice that such alignment occurs when there is an agreement or disagreement in the responses to the items of the questionnaire and when there are different opinions among the participants.
