The Bachelor of Science (Accounting and Finance) Programme aims at addressing the needs of the private and public sectors. It seeks to produce competent, well trained and disciplined practitioners in the fields of Accounting and Financial Management to serve in the public and private sectors. Feedback from past students and employers gave the impression that more needed to be done by enriching the Accounting and Finance specializations.
From the department it was realized that there are new areas that were not captured in the initial programme, hence the need for review. This programme, therefore, aims at capturing emerging issues in the fields of Accounting and Finance.
