The purpose of this study is to build and validate instruments to assess the soft skills of matriculation students who take the accounting subject. 71 first semester students at the Perak Matriculation College consisting of 25 male students and 46 female students were sample studies. Soft skills instruments are adapted and modified from the Integrated Grade Average Grade (CGPA) (Higher Education Institution) - (2016). The soft skills are measured using Learning Outcome Domain (LOD), which consists of 38 items representing six domains of learning outcomes based on the Malaysian Qualifications Framework. The learning outcome domain consists of social responsibility (4 items),values, attitudes and professionalisme (6 items), communication skills, leadership and teamwork (12 items), critical skills and problem solving skills (5 items), information management skills and lifelong learning (6 items), management skills and entrepreneurship(5 items) The factor load for each item is within the range of 0.50 to 0.90. All these factors explain 65.54% of soft skills. The reliability value of each of the six learning resource domains lies within the range of 0.7 to 0.8. Based on vadility and reliability, this instrument consists of 38 items and can be used to measure the soft skills of accounting students in matriculation.
