Accounting is at the heart of every business. Whether it’s tracking financial performance, ensuring compliance or providing insights for strategic decision-making, accounting plays a crucial role in shaping a business’ success. The Accounting Area of Focus offers specialized knowledge that equips students with the skills necessary to excel in both the public and private sectors.
