    Este artículo analiza si las competencias tecnológicas desarrolladas por los estudiantes de último año de los programas de licenciatura en Contabilidad, en las instituciones públicas de educación superior politécnica en Portugal, coinciden con las expectativas de los empleadores, identificando posibles diferencias significativas de opiniones. Através de pruebas paramétricas, se encontró que tanto los estudiantes como los empleadores consideran que Excel, software de comunicación y Microsoft Office son las competencias más desarrolladas a lo largo de la formación. Se encontraron divergencias de percepción en las competencias de Microsoft Office, Cloud Computing, CRM, ERP, Business Intelligence, Ciberseguridad, Blockchain, Predictive Analysis, Modelación de datos, XBRL y Data Science.
