All businesses need to record details of their trading transactions (e.g. sales and purchases) so that they know who owes them money and what money they owe. This information is also used to assess the financial ‘health’ of the business and to make plans for the future. Accountants are involved in making many decisions necessary for the efficient operation of a business. Therefore, a well-run accounting function is critically important to the long-term management of a business.
Upon successful completion of the Honours Degree, graduates with excellent exemptions from the professional accountancy bodies can enter industry or practice (i.e. work for a firm of accountants).
Graduates of the BBus (Honours) in Accounting may apply to the CIT full-time ACCA Programme. This programme provides graduates with the opportunity to complete the ACCA qualification on a full-time study basis. The advantage of completing this programme is that graduates will have their ACCA studies completed before they commence work and will not have to try to combine work and study.
Honours Degree holders who achieve the specified level of academic performance are eligible to apply for a postgraduate course of study, both at CIT and at other third level colleges in Ireland and abroad.
