The growing participation of women in accounting has highlighted the importance of gender diversity in education. Research shows that incorporating both male and female perspectives positively affects audit teams, corporate boards, and business operations. Accounting programs should emphasize gender diversity through readings, case studies, role-playing, and team projects to foster understanding and appreciation of contributions from all genders. Educating students on work-life balance can further enhance ethical performance academically and professionally. This study will survey accounting students and professionals to explore perceptions of gender diversity in education and its impact on ethical behavior. It will also investigate differences in expectations and mindsets between male and female students regarding career placement. Theoretically, the research aims to highlight the role of gender diversity in shaping ethical decision-making in accounting. Practically, integrating these concepts into curricula can prepare students for inclusive work environments, improve teamwork, and enhance ethical awareness. Promoting gender-balanced teams may also foster innovation and improve business performance, demonstrating the broader value of gender diversity in both education and professional practice.
