Accounting is one of the most important roles for nearly any business. It is the documentation of financial transfers linked to businesses. It involves measuring, processing, analysing, and disclosing information about an entity to facilitate changes and to comply with current rules and directives.

Students in accounting will receive a comprehensive overview of corporate laws, company management processes, accounting ethics, statistics, and the theories of accounting. They will be trained in the preparation of business strategies, financial statements, tax returns, and other key documents of an organisation. Accounting also provides students with skills and knowledge that can be applied to a number of industries.

Accounting as a discipline can be categorised into two main fields. These are financial accounting and management accounting. In order to succeed in this field, students need to have excellent mathematical skills along with analytical skills, manipulating skills, and problem-solving skills. Accounting has a close connection with other disciplines like economics, finance, statistics, and computer science to name a few.
