About the course
If you would like to pursue a career as a professional accountant and obtain a broader understanding of accounting?s role in business, this is the route for you. Students gain an excellent foundation in the management of organisations, as well as in financial analysis and the measurement of performance. Studying Business and Accounting together helps you develop an excellent set of technical accounting skills, coupled with a thorough appreciation of the world of business and management. Accounting is an important component that supports the implementation of a business strategy that creates and captures value for, and from, customers. The business element of the degree gives students an appreciation of the core functions of value creation. This degree provides a foundation for entering the accounting profession and other areas of business. To become a professional accountant, you need to successfully complete three levels of professional exams as well as on-the-job training. If you successfully complete the BBS Business and Accounting, you will be exempt from the first level of these professional examinations (CAP 1 examinations from Chartered Accountants Ireland and equivalent examination papers from ACCA, CIMA and CPA professional accounting bodies).
