Business Administration – Accounting (Ontario College Advanced Diploma)
Accounting is more than filing taxes and bookkeeping. It’s about understanding a business from the ground up and guiding it through sound financial practice. Every business has a numbers story. Whether it’s in the fields of manufacturing, services, travel, art, health, fashion, real estate or sports — the options are endless. Create the career you want working part-time, full-time, in an office, remotely, locally, nationally or internationally.
This program delivers concrete, marketable skills with a dual focus on financial and management accounting:
- Develop managerial skills in budgeting, product costing and price setting, eliminating financial waste and finding operating efficiencies.
- Access opportunities to gain certification in industry-leading software such as MS Excel, Sage 50 Accounting and QuickBooks.
- A third year of study provides advanced knowledge of financial and management accounting, corporate taxation and audit techniques.
- Collaborate and formulate strategy in simulated business competitions.
- Learn from case studies and guest speakers from the local business community.
- Put your skills to work in Loyalist’s Service-Learning Community Clinics in semesters 5 and 6. Hone your customer service skills while assisting local small businesses and not-for-profit agencies with their accounting, budget and payroll needs. In semester 6, the Clinic operates a Student Tax Clinic.
- A four-week field placement in third year provides valuable industry experience and networking, and the opportunity to graduate into a job.
