Accounting Course Catalogue
VCE Accounting explores the financial recording, reporting, analysis and decision-making processes of a sole proprietor small business. Students study both theoretical and practical aspects of accounting. They collect, record, report and analyse financial data, and report, classify, verify and interpret accounting information, using both manual methods and information and communications technology (ICT).
Students apply critical thinking skills to a range of business situations to model alternative outcomes and to provide accounting advice to business owners.
In business decision-making, financial as well as ethical considerations (incorporating social and environmental aspects) should be taken into account.
The VCE study design is made up of four units:
Unit 1 : Role of accounting in business
Unit 2 : Accounting and decision-making for a trading business
Unit 3 : Financial accounting for a trading business
Unit 4 : Recording, reporting, budgeting and decision-making
