Why Study Accounting and Finance?

An endorsed Accountancy Certificate on your CV could transform your career prospects for life.  Worldwide, businesses will always rely on capable and qualified accountants to oversee their financial activities.  Far more than basic bookkeepers, talented accountants contribute directly to the profitability and performance of the entire organisation.  Boosting revenues, minimising costs, considering investment opportunities – just three of the everyday duties overseen by accountants.  Best of all, qualified accountants have the freedom to pursue conventional employment, or go into business for themselves and become their own boss!  Whichever way you go, you’ll be looking at a rewarding and secure career for life!

Our exclusive Level 1 Accounting Certificate Programs provide an introductory overview of corporate accountancy and financial management.  Course content is distributed over three engaging modules as follows:

Unit 1: Accounting Basics

The course begins with a detailed introduction to the basics of accountancy, in which candidates are familiarised with the objectives, advantages and limitations of accountancy in a business setting.  A breakdown of the accountancy cycle is studied, alongside the component steps in the accountancy process, the consequences of ineffective accountancy and more.

Unit 2: Accountants’ Roles and Responsibilities

Course module two turns attention to accountancy personnel, along with the roles and responsibilities of those who work in corporate accountancy.  Learners also study the concepts of credit and debit, alongside essential accounting terminology and the typical hierarchy within an accountancy team.

Unit 3: Key Financial Reports

Concluding the course, module three provides a detailed overview of some of the most important financial reports in an accountancy setting.  Examples of which include profit and loss reports, cash flow statements, journals, business ledgers and other subsidiary books.  How to effectively analyse key financial reports is also discussed in-depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

The field of accountancy is highly disciplined, highly skilled and highly respected.  Demand for qualified accountants in the UK is at an all-time high, with some estimates suggesting that at least 80,000 more will be needed within the next 20 years.

While it is technically possible to provide accounting services without a relevant degree, you will find it difficult to succeed without a relevant educational background.  An accounting certificate or diploma is therefore considered essential for a career in accountancy.
