Abstract
This study examined the perceived influence of information and communication technology on entrepreneurship skills among accounting education graduates in Anambra State. Three research questions guided the study. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study is made up of 148 accounting education PG students in the two public universities in Anambra State (87 accounting education PG students from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka and 61 accounting education PG students from Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ujukwu University, Igbariam for 2023/2024 session). The entire population of 148 accounting education PG students was used since the size is considered manageable. Therefore, there is no sampling for the study. The questionnaire is titled “Perceived Influence of ICT on Entrepreneurship Sills among Accounting Education Graduates” (PIICTESAEG). Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation was used to analyze data to answer the research questions and determine the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the respondents' mean. It was found that accounting education graduates agreed that ICT on entrepreneurship created an enabling business environment; boosted production of goods and services in enterprises; and influenced staff development. Based on the findings, it was recommended amongst others that entrepreneurs should organize on-the-job training and offer opportunities for in-service training to their staff to make them more competent in the use of ICT.
