Accounting is essential for monitoring and guiding business operations to enable managers to gain an accurate and up-to-date picture of the financial health of their organisations. Our Accounting major focuses on the preparation, interpretation and communication of accounting information that is essential for effective decision-making within an organisation. You can choose to undertake focused study in financial or management accounting, or complete a more generalised program of study covering a range of accounting subjects in greater depth. This course is fully accredited by the three professional accounting bodies (Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, CPA Australia and IPA) and our graduates are highly sought after by employers.

Career Pathways The Accounting major offers a variety of career paths in the private and public sector, public accounting firms, small business and self-employment. Professional accountants are employed as company directors, board members, chief executive officers and partners in business, and can seek employment in areas such as banking, company accounting, financial consulting, fund management, merchant banking, public accounting practice, stock broking and taxation.
