NCEA Level 2 Accounting is available through Te Kura.
Accounting is fundamental for business and for everyday life. Students gain financial literacy and the tools to make real-life financial decisions in a changing and uncertain world. One of the vital skills students learn is how to prepare and communicate financial information to a wide range of people. Further study can lead to a career in accounting in many diverse businesses worldwide. With a business or commerce degree, you can keep your options wide open.
This course builds on the knowledge already gained in Level 1. It has a strong focus on accounting for sole traders and is useful for people interested in running their own business. Students gain further knowledge, skills and experience needed to manage a small business, including the basics of managing inventory and accounts receivable processes. Students process and interpret financial transactions and then, more importantly, report on this financial information. A practical segment using the accounting software MYOB is also included.
