An innovative new Department of Accounting and Corporate Governance unit ACCG315 (Accountants in the Profession) that encourages students and industry to collaboratively explore the breadth, scope and challenges of the accounting profession, has received a national education award.
“The collaboration has a profound impact on the student experience,” says Head of Department Professor Philomena Leung. “It gives students real-time, relevant industry-based feedback, placing them at the forefront of their learning. Importantly, it has also seen our top 30 students offered new work experience, mentoring and shadow placements with leading CFOs across Australia.”
The Department partnered with diverse professional organisations to deliver presentations throughout the semester.
