Aimed at experienced bookkeepers, the Advanced Certificate in Accounting qualification covers areas such as double entry bookkeeping, financial statements, intermediate spreadsheets and software use.

The Professional Diploma comprises three core modules, a synoptic assessment and two optional units from a choice of five.

This unit is the first of two Advanced level financial accounting units. It develops Foundation level skills, incorporating Advanced Bookkeeping and managing records for non-current assets, in preparation for producing final accounts for unincorporated organisations.

Our courses cover all the learning and preparation associated with ‘Ethics for Accounting’, ‘Spreadsheets for Accounting’ and the Synoptic assessment. Ethics in Accounting is about professional ethics in an accounting environment.

This unit is about control accounts, journals and methods of payment. It takes students through reconciliation processes and the use of the journal to the stage of redrafting the trial balance, following initial adjustments.

This unit introduces students to the double-entry bookkeeping system and the associated documents and processes. Students will reach the stage of extracting an initial trial balance, before any adjustments are made.

This unit introduces the student to UK taxation relevant to businesses. In learning how to prepare tax computations, students will gain skills in the tax treatment of capital expenditure, and the adjustment of accounting profits for tax purposes for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. Business Tax is an optional unit.
