      abstract = {Accounting software became an important tool for accountants and businesses. The study examined the relationship between accounting software, student profiles and Bachelor of Science in Accounting Information System Program Educational Objectives (PEO), and the limitation on the technical training that students needed. It specifically sought to determine the following: 1) respondent?s demographic profile in terms of age, gender, and year graduated; 2) utilization of accounting software in terms of frequency of using computer laboratory and accounting software at Laguna University; 3) attainment of BSAIS PEO in terms of advanced practice in the field of business and management, pursuing professional development, exhibiting integrity towards excellence, manifesting proper ethical principles and values, and promoting social responsibilities in their profession; 4) relationship between the profile of the respondents and the attainment of the BSAIS PEO; and 5) relationship between utilization of accounting software and the attainment of BSAIS PEO. Descriptive quantitative research design was employed and survey questionnaire was used to collect data from 88 BSAIS graduates at LU. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The findings revealed that there was no significant relationship between the demographic profile and the attainment of BSAIS PEO. Moreover, a weak negative correlation was revealed between utilization of accounting software and the two PEOs- advanced practice in the field of business and management and exhibiting integrity towards excellence. There was no correlation was found between utilization of accounting software and pursuing professional development, manifesting proper ethical principles and values, and promoting social responsibilities in their profession. These findings suggest that accounting software utilization is unlikely to be a major factor in the attainment of the BSAIS PEOs. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings.},
