The primary objective of the BS Accounting and Finance program is to provide a sustainable competitive advantage to our graduates compared with those of similar programs at other institutions, as well as the members of the accounting certifications bodies. The objectives include the provision of foundational knowledge necessary for further education, and enhancement of qualifications at the masters and doctoral level.

  • To impart the body of knowledge, including the arrangement of special preparatory tutorial sessions for qualifying the accounting certification exams of ICAP, ACCA and CIMA.
