Diploma of Accounting

The Diploma of Accounting is a one-year full-time (or part-time equivalent) AQF level 5 qualification designed to enable students to acquire a broad and coherent knowledge of the key foundational theories and practices that underpin accounting practice as it operates in dynamic business contexts. Throughout the course, students will acquire knowledge and skills including the underlying principles, concepts and technical knowledge that inform the work of para-professionals in the Accounting sphere. The units have been framed in a way that assures that they will be well orientated to work in innovative and entrepreneurial organisations. ​In addition, the course introduces students to the principles of management and effective business communication. Students study business statistics to complement studies in accounting and economics. The course also provides a foundational treatment of business ethics.
