BSc Accounting & Finance

Accounting has been defined as the measurement and disclosure of financial information used by managers, investors and others to make decisions about the allocation of resources within organisations. It is more than simply the mechanical manipulation of financial data to produce company accounts. The methods for preparing accounting information must be applied with judgement, and with an understanding of the purposes for which the information will be used. A degree in Accounting and Finance provides skills central to the management of organisations, for measuring performance and maintaining cash flows that are essential for the prosperity of any private company or public sector organisation. This programme is accredited by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants).*
