Description:

The objective of the Computerized Accounting program is to give the student "hands on" training in the key areas of financial and management accounting, as well as in the implementation and operation of a computerized accounting system. The practical, rather than the theoretical, is stressed. The successful graduate will have the necessary skills to keep a set of books, both manually and on a computerized system. The student will also be trained to implement internal controls and management accounting systems, such as budgeting, cash flows, and break-even analysis, for use in both small and large businesses. The successful graduate will be equipped for a career in accounting. There is a great demand for well-trained, competent accounting professionals. Accountants are important to the running of any business in order to gather, record, organize, and analyze their financial affairs. Executive management rely on this information to make critical business decisions. Careers may be pursued in small business, multinational corporations, government, or self-employment.
