Course summary

Accountancy is the process by which financial information about a business is recorded, classified, summarised, interpreted and communicated.

A major benefit is our use of guest speakers. These professionals will offer you the opportunity to discuss issues and learn from their experience. This is possible due to the high reputation our degree enjoys among the accountancy profession.

Triple-crown accreditation puts the Adam Smith Business School in the top league of international business schools.

The study of accountancy and finance is a firm foundation on which to base careers in business management and the financial services sector.
