Assessment criteria
There are two components to determine suitability:
1. Degree comparability

- Accounting Systems and Processes
- Business Law
- Economics
- Financial Accounting and Reporting
- Finance and Financial Management
- Management Accounting
- Quantitative Methods
Accredited courses
If you have completed study that is formally accredited by us, you can confirm which competency areas you have already met by using our accredited course search. If you have completed an accredited course, you will not need to provide the curriculum.
