Bachelor of Sciences in Accounting and Finance

Program Overview

“BS Accounting and Finance” blends together accounting and finance in business organization. This program aims to produce high quality graduates who are both critical and innovative. It would further aim to produce high technical skills as well as well-developed and polished decision making and problem solving skills. The program will be structured around four core areas of Accounting, Finance, Business and Economics.

  • Accounting:Financial and management accounting will be studies from a local as well as international perspective. Courses like taxation and auditing will also be offered to give the graduates an insight in to the accounting practices.
  • Finance:A thorough understanding of principles of corporate finance, financial institutions and investment will be provided so that the student can adapt themselves to the ever evolving financial markets.
  • Business and Economics:A complete understanding of the principles of business will be developed by studying such subjects as marketing, management, communications and information technology.

At the moment the Accountancy and Finance industry is experiencing a severe shortage of experts and trained workforce, which is resulting in shortage of qualified personals in both Accountancy & Finance in Pakistan and the world at large. This program would help to form the basis for collaboration and support by closely working with the certification bodies. The department is trying to take exemptions from ACCA, ICMA and CIMA for the graduating students of this program, by which the students will only have to appear in few modules to get another certification. Another benefit of this program would be the acquisition of a university degree as well as the certification form reputed body.
