The Graduate Certificate of Business (Professional Accounting) has been designed for individuals who have no accounting qualifications and are looking for an introductory exposure to the subject area. The course also provides an opportunity for business/commerce graduates, who wish to enter the accounting profession but whose previous selection of business/commerce units does not meet the entry requirements of the accounting professional bodies.  The course provides a selection of units  which allow applicants to satisfy these entry requirements. The units have been recognised by CPA Australia, The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the National Institute of Accountants as meeting the educational requirements for membership. 

Students who are required to complete more than four units for accounting professional body recognition are advised to apply for either the Graduate Diploma of Business (Professional Accounting) course or the Master of Professional Accounting course as appropriate for their requirements.

An undergraduate degree OR equivalent prior learning including at least five years appropriate professional experience.

Students are required to complete 60 credit points (4 units) selected from the following list (Subject to the approval of the Course Coordinator.)
