In 1990, four computer-based instruction (CAL) packages dealing with material taught in introductory and intermediate accounting courses were introduced in the UK. Previous attempts to market products of this type had failed to make any real impact. However, on this occasion, the circumstances were significantly different: the professional accountancy bodies were showing considerable interest (two were involved in the preparation of material, and one was producing and marketing one of the products) and it may only be a question of time before their use is assumed and/or required if accountancy graduates are to continue to receive the professional examination exemptions that they currently obtain.
