• Financial accounting:

Financial Accounting introduces the candidate to the fundamentals of the regulatory framework relating to accounts preparation and to the qualitative characteristics of useful information. The syllabus then covers drafting financial statements and the principles of accounts preparation. The syllabus then concentrates in depth on recording, processing, and reporting business transactions and events. The syllabus then covers the use of the trial balance and how to identify and correct errors, and then the preparation of financial statements for incorporated and unincorporated entities. The syllabus then moves in two directions, firstly requiring candidates to be able to conduct a basic interpretation of financial statements; and secondly requiring the preparation of simple consolidated financial statements from the individual financial statements of group incorporated entities.

• Business Law:

Business Law is an introductory course on the different legal features that underlie business transactions. The course aims to provide students with the skills required to have a basic understanding of the various concepts found in Law. Students will begin by looking at the essential elements of the legal system which will lay down the foundations for the subsequent topics of the law of obligations, employment law and the formation and constitution of business organizations. This course, complemented by Corporate Law, will allow the students to have an adequate and sufficient manipulation of legal theories approaching the CPA exam.

• Corporate law:

The aim of the syllabus is to develop knowledge and skills in the understanding of the general legal framework, and of specific legal areas relating to business, recognising the need to seek further specialist legal advice where necessary. Corporate Law starts with an introduction to the overall legal system which underpin business transactions generally. The syllabus then covers a range of specific legal areas relating to various aspects of business of most concern to finance professionals. These are the law relating to employment and the law relating to companies. These laws include the formation and constitution of companies, the financing of companies and types of capital, and the day-to-day management, the administration and regulation of companies and legal aspects of insolvency law. The final section links back to all the previous areas. This section deals with corporate fraudulent and criminal behaviour.
