Course Objectives:

The prime objective of our accounting program is to make students adept with Canada’s financial accounting and payroll practices. Key elements that lay the foundation of our course are theoretical principles of accounting and payroll, the practical “hands-on” skills essential for the job, and the communication skills required for an office setting.

In accounting, each student will be given knowledge for calculating, preparing, and analyzing accounting reports related to financial transactions such as bills, invoices, inventory reports, account statements, and other financial statements using computerized and manual systems.

Students will be taught in payroll to keep records of attendance-related procedures and to generate reports on the benefits provided to employees in an organization.

The training and the skills acquired during the program term will be effective and efficient for students to flourish in an entry-level accounting or payroll position.
