Continuing professional development (CPD) plays an important role in maintaining professional competency of the accounting academics. The main aim of undertaking CPD is to acquire new technical knowledge pertaining to a certain profession. This study intends to investigate the existing literature on CPD of accounting academics. In reviewing the relevant literature, we have particularly concentrated on these journals: 1) Accounting Education; 2) Journal of Accounting Education; 3) Teachers and Teaching; and 4) Teaching and Teacher Education. The available studies have been classified into three categories and recommendations for the future research work are provided.
