This plan is designed for Commerce/Law students who wish to Major in Accounting.

In the modern world of business and administration there is a need in many fields for the combined professional skills of accounting and law. The most obvious of these is the broad field of taxation practice, already drawing on both accounting and legal specialists for such matters as estate planning and taxation aspects of business organisations. With the growing complexity of commerce, including international business activities and large scale corporate organisation, there is a new and urgent need for graduates who are well versed in a wide range of legal courses as well as in accounting and commerce generally. These graduates may enter large companies as full-time advisers or undertake specialised professional practice. In the public sector also the increasing scale and complexity of government undertakings opens up a significant range of opportunities leading to senior administrative positions.

Apart from specific career considerations, there is no doubt that accounting and law are complementary studies which provide a demanding but worthwhile course for the able student.

Students wishing to obtain CPA/CA accreditation should consult the Faculty of Business for a list of required courses.
