Additional information

Accounting and Finance

Accounting is defined as the measurement and report of financial information that is used by administrators, investors, and others to make desired decisions about the allocation of an organization's resources.

Degree Overview

Accounting holds more importance than just the mechanical manipulation of financial data to produce a company's accounts. To ensure accuracy, methods for preparing accounting information must be applied with judgment and an understanding of the motive for which the knowledge will be used. A wide range of decision-makers needs to acknowledge the key principles which underpin a cost or profit figure produced by an accountant. By studying for a degree in Accounting and Finance, you will acquire and develop skills that are vital to the management of organizations, for measuring performance and maintaining the cash flows that are crucial for the development and prosperity of any private company or public sector organization.
