Program Description

Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Revenue Administration (six courses) provides candidates with an all round knowledge of the principles of revenue adminstration, tax policy, tax risk management and management of revenue collection, as well as detailed technical knowledge of various taxes and of international norms in taxation and revenue administration and collection.

The program is designed for those currently working in revenue authorities or related agencies, and particularly those in developing and transitional economies (including those located in the Pacific, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe), or those ideally equipped for work in the revenue administration and treasury areas of the public service, or for work in consultancies, and agencies related to these areas.

All courses are offered in flexible distance mode and some may be offered in intensive mode. The program may be studied full-time or part-time. It is expected that students will devote 12 to 15 hours per week per course to their study (on average) throughout the teaching sessions. In Intensive mode they will be expected to participate in all classes and conferences in Sydney; in Flexible Distance mode they will be expected to participate in internet based interactions. A good internet connection is important for students in Flexible Distance mode. In both Intensive and Flexible Distance modes extensive and instructionally designed Study Materials will be provided for all courses.

The program is assessed by a combination of class participation (where relevant), assignments and examinations, and workplace projects and performance. Specific assessment approaches for each course are adopted.
