The UNSW Co-op Program is a scholarship program set up by industry and The University of New South Wales to provide financial support and industry training for selected undergraduate students. The UNSW Co-op Program is based on existing undergraduate programs at UNSW but with the following special features:

UNSW academics and senior managers from industry and government have jointly planned them all.
Co-op students receive structured industrial training and gain valuable work experience with up to four different employers.
In 2004 Co-op scholars are receiving a tax-free scholarship of $13,400 per annum.
On graduation, sponsors are always looking to recruit Co-op Scholars.
In 2003, over 210 of Australia's leading employers are providing over 460 scholarships places in 19 programs.
For high achieving students the UNSW Co-op Program offers an ideal combination of challenge and opportunity.

Accounting is a broad and dynamic discipline which concentrates on the analysis of how organisations use their resources and the provision of information about the use of these resources to help people make decisions. Business organisations interact with various groups in society, whether they are shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, competitors, governments or the communities in which they operate. Each is effected economically by the strategies, operations and financial performance of the business.

Accounting (and accountants) seek to improve the economic wealth and welfare of these groups by identifying, analysing and communicating relevant information to assist them to make decisions.

For example, accountants might be asked to advise managers on how much a product or service costs to provide, find ways to organise the business more efficiently and effectively, determine the profit the business is making, or recommend whether or not to invest in a new business.
