Diploma of Accounting

When you enrol in a diploma of accounting, you’ll learn how to complete the wide range of accounting duties, as you might expect. That includes financial reporting, handling tax returns and budgets, reviewing financial transactions, bookkeeping, and learning management accounting information. The course will also show how you use certain computer programs to develop complex spreadsheets. It will teach you all the necessary elements but keep in mind that there are qualities that a diploma won’t give you, such as customer service. Once you become an accountant, you will have to interact with people quite a bit. However, this diploma will ensure that you will be confident in explaining every piece of documentation you provide to another person.

What does an accountant do?

Broadly speaking, an accountant is someone that offers financial services to individuals or corporate entities. This includes preparing and reviewing financial reports, along with ensuring that all of the internal control procedures and legal principles have been followed and taken into account.

Once they compile all of the necessary information, such as tax documentation and records of financial transactions, they then go through all the information with their client. Other duties include sending invoices to accounts and ensuring that all their information remains confidential, aligning with professional standards and ethics. 

The average salary for an accountant in New Zealand is $54,124 per annum. 

What are the entry requirements for a diploma of accounting?

Before you enter a course, ensure you check what the requirements are. Not all accounting courses require any prior education or work experience, but some do recognise prior learning and take that into account.
