Accounting has been defined as the measurement and disclosure of financial information that managers, investors and others use to make decisions about allocating resources within organisations.
Accounting is much more than just the mechanical manipulation of financial data to produce company accounts. The methods for preparing accounting information must be applied with judgment and understanding the purposes for which the information will be used. A wide range of decision-makers needs to understand the key principles which underpin a cost or profit figure produced by an accountant. By studying for a degree in Accounting and Finance, you will acquire skills that are central to the management of organisations for measuring performance and maintaining the cash flows essential for the prosperity of any private company or public sector organisation.
