Abstract
The existence of a salary differential between men and women who are accountants has been noted in many countries. This study focused on the salary of accountants in the US and Australia. For both countries, the results support the existence of a gap in salary between male and female accountants. Job responsibility was significantly related to salary whereas gender was not. Men who were accountants in Australia were likely to have a higher level of education and more experience than women. In the US, female accountants were marginally less satisfied with their salary than male accountants. This was not true for Australia. Implications of these findings are discussed.
