Business Accounting
 
* Tuition fees applicable to one academic year

Canadore’s two-year Business Accounting program will help you gain the practical accounting and general office skills you need for entry-level accounting and bookkeeping positions. Accounting involves measuring business activities, processing information into financial reports and statements, and communicating information to the appropriate decision-makers.

This program will teach you the technical aspects of financial statement preparation, including accounting systems, procedures and management principles. You will gradually move on to study more complex areas including management accounting, payroll and taxation. With the use of computers and appropriate business application software, you will enhance your ability to perform the functions associated with the accounting profession. Small class sizes and attentive faculty are highlights of this program.

Second Career was launched in June 2008 to help laid-off Ontarians identify and train for new careers in growing sectors.
