About the course

Studying accounting is your pathway to working with clients to help them make their businesses more profitable and successful, and reduce their exposure to financial risk. With accounting you'll gain the skills you need to become a trusted business adviser and make strategic financial decisions for organisations. Accountants can earn attractive salaries and are in demand both in New Zealand and overseas. They often work in high-level management positions where skills in financial control, decision making, legal compliance and leadership are essential.

　　If you enjoy working with numbers and people, and want to help businesses grow, then accounting may be a good fit for you.

　　In this subject, you'll learn how to prepare financial records to comply with professional reporting standards, and gain an understanding of commercial and taxation laws that apply to businesses.

　　A qualification in accounting can lead you into all kinds of industries, such as agribusiness, manufacturing or entertainment. Professionally qualified accountants are paid attractive salaries, and can work anywhere in the world.

　　By following a specific programme of study, you can meet the academic requirements to join either Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ), CPA Australia, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), or the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA) once you graduate, and gain an internationally recognised qualification.
