In the Czech Republic there are no formal requirements for completion of certifies training as it is in the case of audit or tax professions and there is no specific requirement for the accounting profession in order to hold a senior accounting position.These requirements are, however, standard in other countries. In this study, we focus on the overview and analysis of various forms and institutional arrangements offering accounting eduvation and training for the performance of accounting practice. Weanalyze secondary and tertiary levels of eduvation focusing on institutions that prepare students for performance of accounting and also on a system of professional education organized by the Association of Accountants and other eduvational institutionsoffering more or less extensive axxounting courses. We find that, contrary to our initial expectations, general subjects are not neglected at Czech universities.
