 Program
Description
The Accounting Program prepares students for a variety of accounting
occupations in the public and private sector. Typically, accounting
clerks establish, develop and maintain the financial records of
organizations and departments. Job duties may include recording
debits and credits, preparing ledgers and balance sheets, verifying
the accuracy of records, classifying payables and receivables,
preparing bank deposits and posting transactions.
With the aid of improved and simplified software
applications, many of these tasks are now performed and stored in computer
files. Automation has expanded opportunities for managing financial information.
In the accounting program, students use current software and develop skills
in the creative process of organizing, analyzing and interpreting financial
information.
