ACCOUNTING CONCENTRATION
The accounting study program offers four concentrations: managerial accounting, taxation, auditing, and capital market to prepare the students to enter the profession.
Managerial Accounting
In managerial accounting, the student will learn methods of applying their understanding of company operations to managerial decision-making. This means that students will read the financial statements and other reports of company operations. From there, the students will make decisions on how to manage company resources. This generally includes understanding how to measure company performance through ratios and comparisons. It also includes the ability to evaluate company operations and performance.

Taxation
Taxation is another important area of accounting. Students learn the fundamentals of individual and business taxation. Individual and business taxation may be broken into two or more courses, depending on the academic institution. The primary focus at the undergraduate level is on income taxation. Higher levels of study of taxation might include nuanced transactions involving gain, transfer taxation, international tariffs, value-added tax, etc.
Auditing
Auditing is another unique area of accounting practice. Auditing is the process of substantiating or verifying the adequacy of records or record-keeping methods of a company. In essence, auditing is a form of inspection. Accountants conduct audits to evaluate and ultimately certify whether the reporting methods used by a company are adequate and, assuming the information supplied to the record keepers is accurate, the information reported to company stakeholders is accurate. An institution may offer specialty auditing courses, such as forensic auditing. A common specialized area of accounting practice is investigative accounting or forensic accounting.
