Introduction

Accounting and Finance is the crucial backbone of any business organization and its product management is essential to the profitability of any business. Professionals in the field of accountancy & finance play an important role in maintaining the public's faith in them to set standards of integrity. As Singapore strives to attract global businesses and investments, the standards, corporate governance and disclosure practices we adopt must be recognised and trusted by international investors and business communities. With recent significant changes such as the requirement to comply with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards and the formation of the Council of Corporate Disclosure and Governance, there will always be a strong demand for graduates with a Diploma in Accountancy and Finance.

Students will acquire specialised knowledge in essential business functions of accounting, finance and taxation through carefully selected modules to help them pursue the global standards in accountancy and finance. The ICT application-based learning takes centre stage in our course design & delivery. This will prepare our graduates for the challenges of the working world and place them in good stead for flexible career options and further educational advancement.

Students undergo the Teaching Enterprise Project (TEP) to gain practical skills in various operational business processes as well as communication, interpersonal skills and teamwork. Through group projects, they will apply their technical knowledge towards defining, identifying, interpreting, analysing and solving problems. The TEP is complemented by an 11-week Industrial Placement Programme where students are attached to public and private sector organisations.
