Why do Accounting?
Accounting is the language of business which affects everyone every day. It provides a system of measuring the value of transactions in business and for individuals. Accounting also provides the basis for business decisions. Most students enjoy the challenges of learning new skills, and appreciate the relevance of the topics covered.
A school background in Accounting is useful for any person wishing to enter the world of commerce, business management and banking. But it also provides useful financial skills for every day life.

So where does Accounting lead?
Accounting is basic subject for anyone contemplating a career in commerce or management or business of any kind. It is a compulsory subject in nearly all commerce and management courses.
The reason for this is simple - no matter what your focus, eventually you will be responsible for the management of money by way of budget whether it is in a business situation or just your own finances. Accounting prepares you to handle these funds in a responsible and accurate manner.
Accountants enjoy one of the highest employment rates for any graduate. The NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) has developed a professional membership structure which stresses communication skills, a wide general knowledge and accounting expertise.
