Certificate in Management and Financial Accounting

The Certificate in Management and Financial Accounting (previously the Certificate in International Public Financial Accounting) is accredited by CIPFA – The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy. The Certificate programme consists of two Modules: Management Accounting and Financial Accounting.

The Management Accounting module provides an introduction to the principles of costing and budgeting and their use in providing information to support management decision making. The skills and knowledge that students develop in this module are crucial in performing the finance professional roles of steward, enabler and innovator and underpin much of the activity associated with the business partner role.

The Financial Accounting Module provides an introduction to accounting theory, ethics, bookkeeping and the preparation of financial statements, which are all fundamental to the stewardship role performed by finance professionals in modern organisations.
