ACCOUNTING 10 CHOOSE YOUR SUBJECT WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL ACCOUNTING Far more than just number-crunchers, accountants often hold high-level management positions where fi nancial control, legal compliance and leadership skills are essential. Accounting is the language of business. Financial accountants process and communicate financial information for all stakeholders; management accountants prepare data for management decisions; tax accountants provide tax compliance advice, and auditors check the financial reporting of organisations. Study accounting at Waikato and any of these careers are possible. Waikato Management School was rated top in New Zealand for its accounting and finance research in the Tertiary Education Commission’s 2007 assessment of tertiary research. Learn from the best at a school where the academic requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) can be met with an appropriate selection of papers. You can choose to study Accounting in the Bachelor of Management Studies page 33 Bachelor of Management Studies (Honours) page 36 Bachelor of Business Analysis – Financial page 43 Bachelor of Business Analysis (Honours) - Financial page 46 Graduate Certificate page 57 Graduate Diploma page 57 Postgraduate Certificate page 58 Postgraduate Diploma page 58 Master of Management Studies page 60 Accounting can also be taken as a second major for most other University of Waikato undergraduate degrees. Accounting papers include Accounting for Management Accounting and Managerial Decision Making Management Accounting: Accounting for Organisational Control Accounting Theory Financial Accounting Accounting Information Technology and Systems Commercial Law Law of Business Enterprises Legal Issues in E-Commerce Management Accounting Auditing Taxation Accounting for Sustainability Organisations and Society Advances in Accounting Theory and Research Advanced Financial Reporting International Accounting Accounting, Sustainability and a Changing Environment Virtual Accounting Systems Public Sector Performance Measurement and Evaluation Fraud Auditing International Tax Strategies Dissertation Thesis Research Methods in Management Studies CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Auditor Financial Accountant Business Consultant Finance Manager Company Accountant Management Accountant Financial Controller Taxation Advisor JARED WILLIAMS (BMS) Audit Senior, Staples Rodway Waikato Limited & Co. “As a chartered accountant I deal to the decimal point, but I also see the wider picture. I went straight from university to Staples Rodway and the firm has really developed my expertise. Now they’re sending me to New York to experience some of the world’s largest businesses. From there I’m off to London and after that, who knows where? Eventually, commercial accounting and my own company are the goals. Accounting offers huge opportunities as the skills apply across the business spectrum. It’s not about sitting in a back-room playing with an abacus; accountants head many of our major organisations.”
BUSINESS FUTURES AND LEADERSHIP Forget the crystal ball, business futures and leadership focuses on managing scenarios through planning and strategy. Business futures research is concerned with the longterm evolution of the cultural, economic, physical and social environment, and the formation and management of business strategies. It’s about distinguishing between prediction and insight. You can’t know the future but given a range of likely options you can anticipate intelligently, and learn to adapt and make adjustments that generate positive and sustainable outcomes. The Postgraduate Diploma in Business Futures and Leadership is a broad programme for executives and future leaders that provides practical ways to manage future challenges and issues. It also provides a foundation for academic research in futures in management. You can choose to study Business Futures and Leadership in the Postgraduate Diploma page 58 Master of Management Studies page 60 Business Futures and Leadership papers include Futures Methodologies Research Methods in Management Studies Future-Focused Action Learning and Research Leadership Research Project Dissertation Thesis CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Futurist Communication Strategist Policy researcher Scenario Planner Entrepreneur PROFESSOR DAVID MCKIE Department of Management Communication “In Wonderland, Alice comes to a fork in the road and asks "Which road should I take?" When the cat in the tree asks if she knows where she wants to go, Alice replies, "No." The cat then says, "Then any road will get you there." With the explosion of futures research from megatrends to microtrends, and the refinement of futures methods, we can select from multiple pathways with intelligence, and, by also learning from our mistakes, go forward in better shape. We don't shape the future by strategic plans; we shape it by our actions today. I want my grandchildren to inherit a planet fit to live on and have the chance to do worthwhile work that will sustain them and their grandchildren. In consulting nationally and internationally, I find smart organisations increasingly want executives to cultivate longer-term outlooks. For leaders, informed forward-looking vision is a core competence and vital to private and public organisations. Business Futures and Leadership is an innovative venture designed to prepare New Zealanders to be proactive rather than reactive in relation to the major uncertainties ahead. The project is exciting and I have a dream that the participants will share insights from different sectors and invent bigger, brighter, and more coherent New Zealand futures.” 11 BUSINESS FUTURES AND LEADERSHIP
