Accounting (BCom)
Course Code: B1003
Accounting is an integral part of the management process in any business or public enterprise. It acts as an evaluation and control aid when looking at the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations of an enterprise as well as employee performance. It provides information to assist users in making decisions for a variety of purposes, including the acquisition or sale of shares, lending of money, and provision of goods on credit.
In addition, Accounting helps managers, owners and investors to look after the assets and investments of the organisation over the latest financial reporting period. Capital investment and strategic decisions also use data produced by the accounting process.
