Why study accounting online? Studying accounting and commerce through distance learning is a convenient way to acquire a valuable degree.

  • Accounting is the language of business and skilled accounting graduates are always in demand.
  • Businesses and individuals rely on accountants to assess their financial situation, prepare reports and give advice.

You can do fully accredited degrees with Berkshire University by studying online – from the convenience of your home or office. Online courses lead to careers in accounting and financial management.

Why Study Accounting Online?

 

Accounting is a dynamic and exciting profession in today’s global business environment. Accounting has seen a major shift in recent decades – from focusing on financial accountability to a more complex role within business organisations and management.

  • Critical business decisions always come down to the numbers. Accountants are analysts, advisors and decision makers.
  • Diverse career opportunities exist in public accounting practices, corporations (small and large), audit firms, government and not-for-profit organisations.

Online accounting courses are a path to professional accreditation with the CACPAIPA and ACCA. You can meet academic requirements by studying online from home or work.
