ACCOUNTING

Accounting is a profession that has many different specializations. The most common occupations are:

  • Financial accounting – This area of accounting focuses on reporting financial information to external users, such as investors and creditors. It includes recording transactions, preparing financial statements (such as balance sheets), and analyzing data to help management make better business decisions.
  • Management accounting – Management accountants analyze internal costs and performance using cost accounting techniques to identify ways companies can improve profitability and efficiency through increased sales volume or decreased production costs. They may also be responsible for developing budgets for individual departments within the company, which can help inform strategic planning efforts by top executives at all levels within an organization.
  • Tax Accounting – Tax accountants prepare tax returns for individuals or businesses by calculating their taxes owed based on income earned during previous years; they also advise clients on how much money they should expect from government sources like Social Security benefits or payroll withholding taxes so they don’t overpay when filing their returns each year.”
Addictions Counselling

The Addictions Counselling program is available through the College of Applied Health Sciences and offers students a master’s in Addiction Studies. Students must complete at least 60 credit hours, including at least 24 hours in their chosen major and 30 hours of general education courses.
