Course Overview

This course will support you to further develop the technical knowledge, skills and professional behaviours to progress your accounting career.

You will enhance the skills you developed from Level 3 as you learn to produce financial statements for limited companies and utilise complex management accounting techniques. You will study internal control and understand how to utilise the control to improve the management, control and decision making in the business.

The course consists of 3 mandatory and 2 optional units. The mandatory units are:
- Drafting and interpreting financial statements
- Applied Management Accounting
- Internal Accounting Systems and controls

We teach the option units on business and personal tax as they are such fundamental aspects of accounting. The units are assessed by computer based assessments.

The course is delivered in person, at Kendal College by industry experts, who have a wealth of experience at supporting individual learners to achieve. The in-class experience also offers a chance to study with others and develop a professional network.
