Accounting has universal application, accounting services are required for manufacturing, trading
and sales organisations, as well as different forms of organisations that such as sole-proprietorship
partnership companies, all of them need record-keeping and therefore you find accounting students
coming from all walks of economic life.
One only has to look at the advertisements for the position of accountants in the popular
media, and the potential employers typically expect candidates
to have a membership of a professional accounting body, and therefore courses that
are accredited, they are in greater demand. Curtin
Singapore courses are accredited in this behalf.
The accreditation body is CPA Australia, and they have a branch in Singapore. That makes
for excellent mobility as well, as candidates
are confident that as they are moved from one country to
another that their qualifications will be recognised and respected.
Unfortunately in some segments of society accountants still suffer from that typical
stereotyping, somebody who sits behind the books and is
very uncool and disinterested in an active social life. But
all that has changed actually, that has changed very dramatically. Since the computers have
come on the scene, they have taken over much of the
mundane work of recordkeeping done by accountants, so the accountants are actually re-inventing
themselves, they've repositioned themselves as
interpreters and users of financial statements, who are now active partners in advising management
as to the strength and weaknesses in the operations.
One only has to visit the campus to see Curtin has a serious commitment to the cause of education,
you just have to walk around and see how beautiful the campus is. Curtin provides a very conducive
learning environment, and it attracts very skilful instructors to provide relevant material
which is from a course outline that is being updated
regularly.
