The BBA (Honours) in Accounting Concentration (‘the BBA-Accounting Programme’) aims to prepare students to pursue accountancy as a profession, not only a career. The curriculum encompasses a wide range of subject areas including financial reporting, management accounting, financial management, auditing, taxation, law, accounting information system and ethics. The BBA-Accounting Programme is duly recognised and accredited by local and international professional bodies such as the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), CPA (Australia), The Association of International Accountants (AIA) and the Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS). Our graduates are granted maximum exemptions by these professional bodies from their respective professional examinations on an equal footing with other university graduates from accountancy disciplines in Hong Kong. Graduates from the BBA-Accounting Programme are well-received by the market. More than 60% of our accounting graduates in 2014 worked on jobs in accounting/auditing/taxation, with others joining other sectors such as banking and finance or management trainee programmes.
