The Bachelor of Business (Accounting) is designed to prepare students in the fields of business and accounting to meet industry requirements. In accordance with standards identified by the CPA membership board, the GBC Bachelor of Business (Accounting) provides a comprehensive practical background in the micro and macro areas of accounting and finance, cross-referencing global economics and markets with the daily performance requirements of the accounting profession. Students will undertake foundational subjects in ethics, accounting, marketing and management, and partake in core Information Technology and Information Systems subjects to excel in contemporary accounting practices and the communication of accounting as meaningful information to informed and uninformed stakeholders. Students will learn how to act as accountants and advisors by assessing the financial positions of a business in both local and global contexts and making recommendations. Upon completion of the GBC Bachelor of Business (Accounting), graduates will have both the experience and qualifications to operate as professional accountants in Australia. They will have a strong practical and theoretical understanding of the impact of technological innovation on businesses as well as the microeconomic and macroeconomic impacts on business and the financial positioning of an organisation. They will also have practical experience in the foundations of accounting for financial services, analysis, governance, and leadership. Finally, through self-directed coursework, graduates will have developed a commitment to lifelong learning and ongoing professional development as well as linking broader global themes to daily business activities to optimise results.
