Program description
You will learn how to analyze and interpret data and make morally responsible choices through the study of financial and management accounting, tax, information systems, audit, finance, and economics.
Through the use of an accounting software package, you will be exposed to the contemporary technological environment of business, including the use of database software (Access) and integrated database application technologies (ERP). Research, case studies, and assignments will also provide you with valuable experience in the field.
Even if you know nothing about bookkeeping, you can still enroll in this course. Seneca's Accounting and Finance degree is one option for further study in accounting after completion, as is the CPA professional designation.
