The purpose of the course is to provide a general professional accounting education to graduates of non-accounting disciplines and to satisfy the academic requirements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, and the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants.
The degree is designed to build upon previous non-accounting undergraduate studies and work experience and to add conceptual depth by concentrating on studies in accounting and related disciplines. The program includes the concepts of spiral learning and the integration of communication skills, computer applications and quantitative analysis within the discipline of accounting.
The degree will prepare students to:
