Abstract
This article analyses the case study method and its application in accounting module. Labour
market requirements in Lithuania and abroad are becoming higher and higher. Completing
the theoretical studies is not enough for students. The case study method helps to
connect the existing theoretical knowledge and practice. The case study method was used
for the first time in 1870 at Harvard University. The method allows a student to be active
throughout the process, to make decisions, to give grounded opinions, to work in a team
and to make conclusions. This paper addresses the benefits of using case studies in accounting
module between the students without a relevant work experience. In the context of this
study, the findings provide evidence that the case study methods should be used in the
accounting studies.
