1.5 Significance of the Study
This study is carried out to investigate employer’s level of satisfaction towards Uniten accounting graduates. Prior studies were carried out to investigate expectation and perception of employers on accounting graduates. (e.g. Ismail, Elham & Manaf ,2000) However, there are only limited amount of studies conducted about employer’s satisfaction level towards accounting graduates. This study will be able to explore some of the areas that have not been highlighted before.

This study focussed specifically on accounting graduates which highlighted the employers’ expectation on employability skills that influence the level of satisfaction of employers.
This research seeks help UNITEN to have a better understanding on relationship between employers’ perception on employability skills possessed by accounting graduates and employers’ satisfaction on UNITEN accounting graduates . Therefore, the information laid out in this study will provide a better understanding of level satisfaction of the employers. In addition, this research can contribute to the alignment of the needs of employers and skills possessed by UNITEN graduates. Furthermore, this research can be useful for curricular improvement of graduates.
