You'll develop the data and analytical skills needed to manage financial transactions; to prepare financial reports on assets, liabilities and operations; and to understand the value and limits of accounting information in an organization's decision-making process. Our coursework will build your skills and give you the confidence to apply for professional certification and to sit for professional exams such as Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).
