Hide-Graduates will, on successful completion of the programme, have entitlement to CAP1 exemptions from Chartered Accountants Ireland. Successful graduates also have exemption from LW, PM, TX, FR and FM of the ACCA professional examinations, and equivalent exemptions from other Accounting Bodies. Graduates are very well placed to enter the work force as a trainee accountant with just two sets of professional exams required to complete to qualify as a chartered accountant. Successful graduates from the programme will have an option of enrolling for the 1-year Masters in Accounting at Maynooth University, the successful completion of which, will enable them to qualify for exemption from a further level of examinations (CAP 2) of Chartered Accountants Ireland.
Modules are timetabled Monday to Friday.
On completion of the programme graduates will be able to:
Understand the principles of financial accounting and the main business and accounting structures
Understand and be able to apply the principles of double entry book–keeping
Be able to prepare a set of accounts
Understand the principles of financial management
Have the knowledge and skills to deal with most routine issues in personal income tax and vat
