Accounting plays a
major role in all organisations, whether profit,
or not-for-profit, public or private sector
organisations. Our programme explores the way in
which accounting informs decisions in
organisations and the impact which the use of
accounting information systems can have on
various aspects of organisational life. A study
of accounting within its organisational context
is central to the accounting degree at Portobello
College. The aims of this programme involve two
main strands – a command of the techniques of
financial accounting, management accounting and
financial management and a critical approach to
their uses and limitations. The learning outcomes
of this programme include the opportunity to
achieve and demonstrate competencies such as an
ability to engage in critical evaluation of
arguments and evidence. They will learn to
analyse, interpret and manipulate data in pursuit
of solutions to complex business problems.
