Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using questionnaire survey, this study examines accounting students’ attitude on accounting career. Specifically, this study examines whether there is any significant difference on the accounting students’ attitude of accounting career caused by cultural differences as differentiated by race. Two large groups of races in Malaysia were chosen: Malay students and Chinese students. The results show a significance difference in accounting career choice between the Malay students and the Chinese students. Further results show that there are significant differences between the two groups on the important criteria in salary determination in terms of qualification and work performance. However, both groups agree that interest and job responsibilities are not important factors for an accountant. The results provide useful insights to relevant institutions in formulating plans in their institutions in alleviating differences caused by cultural differences on students’ attitude on accounting career and therefore, produce highly competitive graduates. Keywords: Malay; Chinese; accounting students; attitude; accounting career Resume: En utilisant la methode de l’enquete par questionnaire, cette etude examine les perceptions de la carriere de comptable des etudiants en comptabilite.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
