Course Overview

The Bachelor of Accounting is a three-year full-time (or part-time equivalent) qualification designed to enable students to acquire a broad and coherent knowledge of the key theories and practices that underpin the accounting profession as it operates in dynamic business contexts.

A graduate of Crown Institute of Higher Education will possess comprehensive knowledge in their discipline area and be able to apply that knowledge effectively in the workplace. They will be able to identify problems and work pro-actively and creatively to develop solutions and to generate, analyse and interpret different types of information to inform and support decision-making processes. They will be able to think logically and critically to analyse and solve problems; be independent thinkers; engage with others proactively and collaboratively for continued personal and professional development; and act ethically and with an awareness of cultural diversity. They will also be able to communicate effectively to level required at the professional level.

Course Structure

Year one of the course (semesters 1 and 2) introduces students to the principles of management and effective business communication. Students study commercial law and business statistics to complement studies in accounting for decision-making and economics. Year one also lays the foundation for ethics in business which is enhanced progressively over years two and three.

Year two of the course (semesters 3 and 4) further develops students’ knowledge and understanding of financial accounting, management accounting, corporate finance and accounting information systems. This is supported with studies in taxation law and corporate law. Year two also offers a range of elective choice to students.

Year three of the course (semesters 5 and 6) aims to further consolidate the students’ knowledge and understanding of accounting theory and practice. Students will study auditing and advanced financial accounting. These are contextualised by the study of the digital economy, leadership and change management and international business. Additionally, students study three electives to complement their areas of interests and professional preparation.
