Accounting as an undergraduate programme focuses on the systematic recording, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of financial transactions for individuals, businesses, and organizations. It equips students with technical knowledge in financial reporting, auditing, taxation, cost control, and corporate governance. The programme typically spans four years and leads to the award of a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Accounting.
Students take core courses such as financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, auditing, business law, corporate finance, financial management, public sector accounting, and accounting information systems.
