Abstract

Cloud computing is the new technological trend for future generations. It represents a new way to use IT resources more efficiently. Cloud computing is one of the most technological models for developing and exploiting infrastructure resources in the world. Under the cloud, the user no longer needs to look for major financing to purchase infrastructure equipment as companies, especially small and medium-sized ones, can get the equipment as a service, rather than buying it as a product. The idea of ​​cloud computing dates back to the sixties of the last century, but this idea did not come into actual application until the beginning of the third millennium, at the hands of technology companies such as Apple, Hp, IBM, which had a great impact in supporting the march and development of various electronic cloud services. Despite its criticisms, cloud computing is here to stay. The current economic situation will force universities and more organizations to at least consider adopting a cloud solution. The results of the study showed a professional relationship between the use of cloud computing and the development of accounting education at the level of significance of 0.05. The most important recommendations of the study for universities to provide the material and technical capabilities to activate the use of cloud computing in accounting education
