Year 13 Accounting (13ACC)

Year 12 Accounting gives students the tools to make real life financial decisions in a constantly changing and uncertain world.  Accounting is the process of preparing and communicating financial information to a wide range of users.  Accounting enhances financial literacy.  Accounting helps individuals and organisations to be accountable to stakeholders for their actions.

The course focuses on accounting systems and financial statements which builds on the Year 11 course by going into much more depth.  The processing component is done using the accounting package MYOB which is widely used by businesses in New Zealand. 

A school background in Accounting is useful if you wish to enter the world of commerce, business management, banking, tourism, marketing, insurance, information technology, resource management, finance, consultancy, advisory and self employment.
