Accounting & Finance

W1siziisijiwmjevmdgvmdkvmdmvmzuvmdkvnjnmndeyzgytmzc5ni00mzgxlwflyzetytlinduwodywndnjl2fjyy1maw4uanbnil0swyjwiiwidgh1bwiilci4mdb4mtawmfx1mdazzsjdxq

"Accounting is the language of business"


Warren Buffet


The finance industry is all about money management and investments for governments, corporations, and individuals. Finance professionals are responsible for guaranteeing sufficient capital for the specific needs of an organisation as well as ensuring funds are distributed in the best possible way. Creating value is key by managing funds so that higher than expected risk-adjusted returns are incurred.


Accounting has an incredible role within finance. It involves the recording, maintaining, and reporting of a company’s financial records. Accounting professionals can work for individuals, in corporations, or on behalf of other businesses at a public accounting firm. An accountant’s most dominant responsibilities are to make sure that all financial matters are accurately recorded into the general ledger, that account balances are correct, and that financial statements are precise.

Qualifications related to Accounting and Finance

You can get a diploma or degree in Accounting and Finance, or in related areas such as maths, economics, banking, or commerce.
