This represent a paradigm shift in accounting theory as the concept of implicit costs reported together with the traditional historical costs. As there is hardly any resources on the new theory in print, educators will have to rely on information concerning this new standard through e-learning via the International Federation of Accountants webpage, the local accounting body webpages and commentary from the webpages of major international accounting firms. In this study, the researchers explored the readiness and awareness of accounting educators across higher education institutions and professional bodies in Malaysia in understanding and applying the new theory into their future course development materials.
