Abstract: This paper elaborates the idea of using humour as a teaching technique in accounting education at tertiary level. It provides a review of research conducted on the use of humour in teaching and learning and the various ways that humour can be integrated into the accounting classroom. In addition, the paper identifies the benefits of using humour in the rapidly changing teaching and learning environment of accounting where face-to-face interactions between students and instructors are on the decline. Finally, this paper advocates the use of humour as an innovative and effective tool in teaching accounting units traditionally considered as boring, difficult and challenging to students and provides recommendations for potentially fruitful areas of research in accounting education in the future.
