Diploma in Accountancy (ACC) (3-year course)

Introduction

Diploma in Accountancy (ACC) gives students a head start in their accounting career. Students are taught to perform the crucial role of keeping proper company financial records, assessing its profits and losses as well as its future potential for growth.

The course comprises foundation modules that provide essential accounting, computing and communication skills. These are complemented by basics in other related disciplines like economics, information systems, taxation, business and company law. Students are also equipped with auditing skills that enable them to review a company’s accounts and procedures to ensure transparency in its financial reporting.

The final year of the course focuses on specialised and practical training, such as the Accountancy Practical Training (APT) programme. Students can choose to go on the APT programme for about six months with major international accounting firms, reputable organisations and government-related agencies to gain the relevant working experience or pursue more finance-related modules.

Career Prospects
ACC graduates can work in the fields of accounting, audit, taxation, finance, consultancy, insurance and banking. With further education and career development, they can move up to higher positions such as Senior Accountant and Regional Financial Controller.

Accreditation for Further Studies
Graduates are eligible for admission to many local and overseas universities. Those who plan to continue their education abroad will enjoy advanced standing for business and accountancy degrees at many universities in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Professional institutions like the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), grant further exemptions in their professional examinations for ACC graduates.
