Subject Overview
Students learn how to manage money in the business world. Accounting is an information system that provides financial and other information for making and evaluating decisions about the allocation of resources. It is a system of recording, reporting, analysing and interpreting the financial information of an organisation and involves the conveyance of relevant business information to interested users. The study of Accounting enables students to understand these processes. The course is designed, not only to provide a foundation in the discipline of Accounting, but also to prepare students for further education, training and employment. The subject offers scope and flexibility through the exploration of financial decisions and provides relevance for general education. A strong emphasis is placed on computerised accounting systems in this course.
