Students feel that by taking audit practicum courses they can develop their self-confidence and skills and professional readiness in facing the world of work later. However, some students felt that there was not enough time for guidance and development of the practicum which still used the practicum book. On average, students gave suggestions that the accounting practicum could use certain applications so that in practice, students could be more applicable and really feel the atmosphere of the working world as a reliable auditor.
