Program Information The Bachelor of Accounting and Finance is a specialist three year full-time (or part-time equivalent) degree offering a comprehensive course of learning in the theory and applications of Accounting and Finance. The course involves a core in Accounting, allowing graduates to be simultaneously recognised as Accounting and Finance professionals. The aim of the degree is to provide a comprehensive undergraduate corporate accounting education that will prepare you for financial management roles in private enterprise, government, the notfor-profit sector and trans-national corporations. 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 and treasury. This course has been designed in accordance with the accreditation requirements of the Certified Practising Accountants Australia (CPAA), Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) and Institute of Public Accountants (IPA), the training standards in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guide 146, and the professional recognition requirements of finance sector peak bodies such as the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) and the Financial Services Institute of Australia (FINSIA).
