Accounting
Program Overview
Accounting is the universal practice at the foundation of all business practices. Accountants and auditors make sure businesses, organizations, companies, corporations, governments, families, and individuals prosper from applying sound fiscal procedures.
Accountants keep accounts and public records, provide auditing services, conduct forecasting and risk analysis assessments, prepare and authenticate financial documents, and offer guidance on cost reduction, revenue enhancement, and profit maximization.
