About Specialization
Accounting is one of the most essential components of any business. As a result, accountants are always in high demand and often able to command very lucrative salaries. The Accounting specialization at the College of Business Administration prepares students for a career in accounting through practical training in essential concepts such as financial accounting, management control systems, fiscal management at the micro- and macro-level, budget allocation, cost effectiveness, investments and financial opportunities. This program also perfectly situates graduates looking to go on to qualify and practice as Chartered Accountants or Certified Public Accountants.
Professional Body Accreditation
The College of Business Administration curriculum has received international accreditation by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). CIMA has partnered with AICPA (the American Institute of CPAs), and the merger – now named AICPA (the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants) – is the world’s largest professional body of management accountants. This accreditation resulted in several COBA specializations attaining equivalency and exemptions from CIMA that will ensure the college can graduate market-ready students. Students directly benefit from these exemptions and are able to attain the elite CGMA – Chartered Global Management Accountant – certification.
COBA has also collaborated with the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) to get a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) scholarships for its students.
