Overview

This course is a specialist degree offering comprehensive knowledge in the theory and applications for both accounting and finance that will allow graduates to be simultaneously recognised as accounting and finance professionals . 

Unlike pure accounting degrees, the Bachelor of Accounting and Finance offers a broader understanding of financial instruments, institutions, markets and systems. It involves the study of financial decision-making under uncertainty, which is applicable to banking, financial consulting and planning, funds management, merchant banking, stockbroking and treasury.

Because of the comprehensive nature of the course, graduates will be particularly well qualified in highly sought-after specialised areas such as auditing, budget analysis, portfolio management, investment analysis, mergers and acquisitions, risk analysis and taxation strategy.
