Abstract
The pandemic has disrupted the education around the world, impacting the way it is delivered. Teaching and training during this period create challenges to students since online learning provides the knowledge transfer that were usually done physically. Accounting internships enable students to get familiarized with different types of accounting context in a realistic environment. During the pandemic, this setting has changed, and the remote internship becomes the new reality. The aim of this research was to obtain feedback from accounting students who experienced internship due to pandemic by (1) collecting their opinion and expectations regarding this new form of internship, (2) stating their satisfaction of the internship program, (3) addressing their readiness for doing the internship, and (4) indicating the fulfillment of the internship's learning outcomes. The outcome of the study revealed interesting results and a set of factors that accounting faculty should endeavor to address in order to build resilience into the accounting internship.
