Course description

This course is designed primarily for those with non-accounting degree qualifications occupying management positions in industry or government bodies. The aim of the course is to enable students to broaden their business knowledge and increase understanding of accounting-related matters. It allows students to take a substantial number, but not all of the units needed to meet the academic requirements for admission to the CPA Australia program and the CA program of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia. As such it suits potential students who already meet some of the requirements of these professional bodies, but not all.

• AFG9071 Introductory accounting
