An accountancy degree opens doors to a plethora of opportunities in accounting and non-accounting careers. Accountancy and its related fields such as taxation, consulting, risk management and corporate governance, is the cornerstone of an economic system. Whilst most accountancy graduates work in the financial reporting area, the knowledge, skill set and experience you obtain as an accountancy graduate equip you to venture into many areas and rise up the corporate ladder. Accounting and financial information plays a key role in the allocation of resources, on individual, corporate, and national levels. Today, many of the top executives in major Singapore corporations hold a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) qualification, such as Ms Chua Sock Koong (CEO of Singtel) and Mr Kua Hong Pak (Group CEO/MD for Comfort DelGro). As knowledge of finances and budgeting is essential for any organisation, accounting skills are highly applicable in all sectors of the economy. Employers today recognise the value of accounting knowledge in their talent search. Armed with an SMU BAcc, graduates have pursued careers in a variety of industries – including asset management; investment banking; information technology; regulatory and trading. According to the SMU Graduate Employment Survey 2010, 100% of our 2010 BAcc graduates secured employment within 6 months after graduation, of which over half joined the Big 4 and other accounting firms, whilst the rest joined government bodies, banks and other financial institutions, MNCs and management consultancies. According to the survey, our 2010 BAcc graduates also drew higher average starting salaries than their peers from other tertiary institutions.

An accountancy degree opens doors to a plethora of

opportunities in accounting and non-accounting careers.

Accountancy and its related fi elds such as taxation,

consulting, risk management and corporate governance,

is the cornerstone of an economic system. Whilst most

accountancy graduates work in the fi nancial reporting area,

the knowledge, skill set and experience you obtain as an

accountancy graduate equip you to venture into many areas

and rise up the corporate ladder. Accounting and fi nancial

information plays a key role in the allocation of resources,

on individual, corporate, and national levels. Today, many of

the top executives in major Singapore corporations hold a

Certifi ed Public Accountant (CPA) qualifi cation, such as Ms

Chua Sock Koong (CEO of Singtel) and Mr Kua Hong Pak

(Group CEO/MD for Comfort DelGro).

As knowledge of fi nances and budgeting is essential for any

organisation, accounting skills are highly applicable in all

sectors of the economy. Employers today recognise the value

of accounting knowledge in their talent search. Armed with

an SMU BAcc, graduates have pursued careers in a variety

of industries – including asset management; investment

banking; information technology; regulatory and trading.

According to the SMU Graduate Employment Survey 2010,

100% of our 2010 BAcc graduates secured employment

within 6 months after graduation, of which over half joined

the Big 4 and other accounting fi rms, whilst the rest joined

government bodies, banks and other fi nancial institutions,

MNCs and management consultancies. According to

the survey, our 2010 BAcc graduates also drew higher

average starting salaries than their peers from other tertiary

institutions.

Dear prospective student,

The accountancy scene in Singapore is poised to transform.

The Singapore Government has identifi ed the accountancy

sector as an important sector for development and aims to

position Singapore as a leading global hub for accountancy

services and professionals.

The SMU School of Accountancy (SoA) is well-placed to

support this vision. Our Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc)

programme is designed with the future in mind. The

programme encompasses a broad-based curriculum – a

focused accounting core coupled with additional accounting

options; business; technology; entrepreneurship; career

skills; communications; internship and other modules

to ensure depth and breadth of knowledge. Our hallmark

pedagogy of interactive seminars, presentations and project-

based assessment also develops graduates who are proactive,

analytical, creative, articulate and adaptable. It has received

widespread endorsement from the industry and profession.

We equip our students to become not just technically

competent accountants, but also versatile business leaders

with the right training in skills, motivation and mindset.

Our faculty and staff at SoA have consistently worked towards

producing a programme that will bring out the best in you,

and offer you the best opportunities. Our BAcc programme

has received professional accreditation from the Institute

of Certifi ed Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS),

Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), CPA

Australia, Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia

(ICAA), the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England

and Wales (ICAEW), Chartered Institute of Management

Accountants (CIMA) and last but not least, AACSB

International (AACSB). This means that our graduates are

recognised internationally.

We look forward to hearing from you, and welcoming you as

our student.

ACCOUNTING...MUCH MORE THAN NUMBERSMr Ho Kwon Ping,

Executive Chairman,

Banyan Tree Holdings

“The versatility of someone trained in accounting who can

really understand the nuts and bolts of a business, and not

just simply reading fi nancial statements, is very valuable in

a corporation. I’ve seen many accountants who’ve moved

on to become CFOs and MDs of corporations. Accountancy

WHY SMU BACC? SCHOOL OF ACCOUNTANCYBACHELOR OF ACCOUNTANCY CURRICULUM

NEW MODEL OF EDUCATIONOur BAcc programme is designed to develop well-rounded individuals, trained in a variety of subject

areas. The BAcc curriculum adopts best practices from top American business schools, allowing

students exposure to a broader spectrum of courses. A holistic approach is taken in appraising students,

allowing for a more balanced and better assessment of a student’s performance.

Interactive Learning EnvironmentSMU’s unique city campus, which

is situated strategically between the

fi nancial and arts and heritage districts,

offers a technology-enabled environment

to enhance the learning experience

for its students. Our city campus is

purposefully designed for a continuous

exchange of ideas between our

university and the surrounding

commercial district.

Our pedagogy also aims to transform

our students into well-rounded

individuals. SMU’s distinctive seminar

style learning emphasises classroom

interaction and stimulates critical

thinking in students and transforms

our students into graduates with

strong technical skills, versatility and

professional competencies. Course

assessment comprises progress

assessment, class learning activities

(presentations, participation etc.),

projects and assignments with fi nal

exams accounting for not more than

50% of the total course grade.

Broad-based Curriculum and Maximum FlexibilityThe SMU BAcc degree offers the right

balance of technical skills and broad-

based education for your personal and

professional growth. It offers you the

most fl exibility in a tertiary education

and empowers you to chart your own

academic pursuits to help you realise

your career goals. Students at SoA

have the option to complete their

BAcc degrees with direct meritorious

honours, armed with deeper knowledge

in accounting areas of their choice (eg.

tax or internal audit); or can choose to

expand their fi elds of expertise through

double degrees and second majors in

other fi elds.

This multi-disciplinary approach of

offering double degrees and second

majors develops our students’ versatility

and gives them a head start in their

career.

Nurturing EnvironmentHighly qualifi ed professors, both from

the academia and industry, come from

all over the world to share their

knowledge, perspectives and experience

with our students. Our faculty are

dedicated to facilitating learning for

their students and go the extra mile to

mentor their students outside of class.

Our nurturing culture also ensures that

students have a strong support network

to help them adjust to the challenges

of university life. At the university

level, students in search of guidance

on career, student life, relationship or

social issues, can approach the Centre

for Counseling & Guidance or the SMU

Peer Helpers (SMU student volunteers).

Student mentors from SoA are also

on hand to advise their juniors and

freshmen on how to manage the rigours

of tertiary life.

Preparation for Your CareerStudents are encouraged to immerse

themselves in real working environments

to prepare them for their foray into the

working world.

The internship programme at SMU

requires students to complete a

minimum of 12 weeks, of which 2 weeks

must be spent in a voluntary welfare

organisation. Our BAcc students have

opportunities for multiple internships

in different companies either locally or

even overseas to experience a variety of

working environments.

Indeed, our students have impressed

their employers during their internship

and many are presented with job offers

even before graduation.

International Exposure OpportunitiesSMU encourages students to develop

a global perspective through numerous

programmes which offer opportunities

to work or study overseas.

The list of partner universities for

overseas exchange exceeds 200,

hailing from different regions and

continents. Through overseas study

missions, community service projects

and overseas exchange programmes,

students are assured of avenues for

gaining international exposure. SMU

also offers many fi nancial assistance

schemes and scholarships to support

the costs of an overseas study mission

or exchange.

Our FacultyFaculty at SoA hail from renowned

universities around the world, bringing

with them international teaching and

research experience.

Besides recruiting some of the best

academics in their fi eld, SMU also taps

successful industry practitioners for

their specifi c expertise and management

skills to combine academic vigour with

hands-on business savvy.

In addition, experienced audit and tax

partners from the Big 4 and local CPA

fi rms actively participate in our courses

as adjunct professors or as seminar

speakers, thus augmenting textbook

learning with their wealth of practical

experience and knowledge of current

developments.

Our SoA faculty have consistently

performed well based on students’

teaching evaluations and have

clinched many SMU teaching awards in

recognition of their dedication to

teaching and pedagogical excellence.

Our Students: Beyond Academic ExcellenceOur BAcc students have proven

themselves in both their academic

and non-academic pursuits. With

a plethora of activities and events

taking place throughout the year, our

students have risen to the challenge

of balancing a rigorous curriculum

with their CCA interests, consistently

proving their mettle in achieving all-

rounded excellence.

Many of our BAcc students have drawn

the media spotlight with their

entrepreneurial pursuits as well as

high profi le achievements in sports,

international competitions and

volunteerism.

Our Alumni: Beyond Professional ExcellenceFor our BAcc alumni, their passion and

dedication towards excellence continue

outside of SMU. Even as they juggle with

new challenges at their workplace, they

continue to pursue other interests with

the same fervour and zeal characteristic

of an SMU graduate.

Many of our alumni also venture beyond

Singapore’s shores to fulfi l their career

aspirations, an experience they are

familiar with in view of the global

exposure they received in SMU. The

strong bond between the school and our

alumni is evident when they continue

to take the time to return to SoA to

support our initiatives, catch-up with

their professors and mentor their juniors.

Scholarships and AwardsSMU has on offer a host of various

fi nancial schemes to ensure all deserving

students have equal opportunity to

gain a tertiary education at SMU. To

date, SMU has over 40 scholarships

available to BAcc students. Indeed in

SMU, 1 in 6 students are benefi ciaries

of scholarships, study awards or other

forms of fi nancial support.

Students may also be considered

for awards sponsored by various

organisations, in recognition of their

outstanding achievements in academic,

community service, and co-curricular

involvements. Some awards are given

automatically based on performance;

others by application.

Vibrant Campus LifeAccountancy students have abundant

opportunities to pursue their non-

academic interests through student

clubs and participating in SMU events.

There are over 100 student clubs that

cater to the exciting array of interests

of the SMU community ranging from

serving in student associations, to

engaging in the arts; sports and

adventure; special interests; and

community services.

There is never a dull moment in SMU!
