Course Description

Program Description Accounting is more than filing taxes and bookkeeping. It’s about understanding a business from the ground up and guiding it through sound financial practice. Every business has a numbers story. Whether it’s in the fields of art, health, fashion, real estate or sports — the options are endless. Explore a career path that can take you virtually anywhere. This program delivers concrete, marketable skills with a dual focus on financial and management accounting: Develop managerial skills in budgeting, product costing and price setting, eliminating financial waste and finding operating efficiencies. Access opportunities to gain certification in industry-leading software such as MS Excel, Sage 50 Accounting and QuickBooks. A third year of study provides advanced knowledge of financial and management accounting, corporate taxation and audit techniques, focused on obtaining the ACAF certification. Collaborate and formulate strategy in simulated business competitions. Learn from case studies and guest speakers from the local business community. Put your skills to work in Loyalist’s student-run tax clinic. For the 2016 tax year, students completed more than 200 returns — putting more than $245,000 back in the hands of Loyalist students.
