Course director: Mr Laurie Webb
The course
The Graduate Diploma in Accounting is a two-year part-time fee-paying course which is designed as a `conversion course' for those without tertiary qualifications in accounting.
Objectives
The Graduate Diploma in Accounting program aims to develop and enhance students' knowledge and skills of accounting and related fields. The objectives of these intensive study programs are to offer graduates from non-accounting disciplines the opportunity to introduce and develop their knowledge of accounting and business-related disciplines. In addition, completion of either of these courses will enable graduates to meet the academic requirements for admission to the CPA program of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants and the professional year program of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
Professional accreditation
Graduates will meet the academic requirements for admission as a provisional member of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants and for admission to the professional year program of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
Venue
Evening classes are offered at the Caulfield and Peninsula campuses.
