Accounting and Finance is one of the key functions in any organisation. The information that accountants prepare informs the decision-making process throughout the organisation, and forms the basis of external communications about how the organisation is performing.
As such, an accounting degree opens a number of career opportunities including accountancy, management consultancy, banking and finance, with qualified accountants often found at the highest levels of organisations in all sectors around the world.
