Field of Study: Accounting

The definition of ‘Accounting’ is the action or process of keeping financial accounts. When studying any one of the accounting short courses or learning programmes offered by SACOB you get more than just the understanding of the basics but rather a complete understanding of the theory as well as the practical side of Accounting. You will be equipped with the knowledge and skill required to record transactions, classify them and finally summarise them in the form of financial statements.

We have a wide variety of short courses and learning programmes for you to choose from – you can make use of the many different search functions on the Home Page – Institutions, Learning Programmes, Short Courses, Fields of Interest, Job Functions and Qualifications or better yet, let one of our students advisors contact you by clicking on the ‘contact student advisor’ button below and complete the necessary fields. Students are faced with some big decisions – What shall I study? Where shall I study, Why should I study that over this? We get it! Our student advisors are here to answer all your questions as well as provide career advice and guidance.
