The research aims to provide an integrated conceptual framework on the most critical challenges and problems facing integrated electronic accounting education in Iraq and to identify the extent of its importance and effectiveness and the most significant proposed solutions to the issues facing both students and faculty. Two questionnaires were created and distributed electronically: one for accounting students in universities and institutes affiliated with the Ministry of Higher Education, with 161 responses, and the other for accounting professors in colleges and institutes, with 100 responses, and they were analyzed. According to the correlation coefficient, blended education has a considerable impact on education quality. Before the COVID-19 epidemic, universities and institutions in the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research did not use e-learning. Modern electronic means include all advanced technical means that can be used and benefited from in the blended learning process, including computers as one of the main pillars, all devices, equipment, and all means of communication, such as computer networks of all kinds, and it is necessary to continue e-learning for some subjects, such as electronic and practical theoretical lectures. Therefore, electronic elements supplement my presence. Accounting education is an integrated system with several connected aspects to fulfill its aims, and e-learning is becoming more popular in education. Blended Learning is one way to apply this notion to e-learning
