About the Diploma    
 

Accounting is not just about crunching numbers! A forensic accountant, for example, solves crimes by detecting and preventing financial frauds such as embezzlement, tax evasion and money laundering.

In today’s challenging business environment, the professional accountant engages in strategic decision-making and is a valued partner in running the business. Coupled with a call for greater ethics, corporate governance, transparency, accountability and financial discipline, the prospects for accounting professionals have never been brighter and better.

Our Diploma in Accountancy (ACC) equips you with an excellent foundation that prepares you for your career and further studies.

As an ACC graduate, you are:

Accredited for professional development

  • Module exemptions for courses and examinations offered by professional organisations and universities

Career-ready through practical internships

  • Apply advanced IT tools in accounting, finance and business reporting such as the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)
Career Prospects 

With Singapore poised to become one of the major business and financial centres of the world, your job prospects are not limited to the Big Four accounting firms. Numerous companies from diverse industries will need your expertise. You can pursue executive careers in accounting, auditing, taxation, costing, banking and financial services.
