The School of Accounting and Commercial Law (SACL) is delighted to announce the renewal of its accreditation by the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA).
To obtain this five-year accreditation, certain accounting and business topics must be covered in the accounting programme and eight accreditation standards must be met to ensure students are receiving a high quality education.
“Applying for this accreditation is a huge undertaking, and we were especially pleased to receive a commendation for the quality of the documentation we provided,” says Dr Carolyn Fowler, a senior lecturer in SACL, who was a member of the School’s accreditation team.
“Maintaining this accreditation ensures our programmes meet the academic requirements for entry into NZICA, which sets our students on the path towards becoming fully qualified chartered accountants.”
In the last 18 months, the School has also had its accreditation renewed by CPA Australia, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), United Kingdom, and the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA).
