WHY ACCOUNTING?
Accounting is both a primary communication channel between
business entities and their stakeholders and a comprehensive
information system which supports effective decision making. The
role of the accounting profession is becoming more pronounced
in today’s business environment, which is characterized by scarce
resources, fierce rivalry, complex transactions and increased
public scrutiny.

TESTIMONIALS
“Studying accounting at the AUC School of Business was the best
decision I ever made. It gave me the opportunity to get an education
from the highest caliber of professors. The hardest classes were the
best, because they taught me how to solve complex problems in
my career. Coupled with AUC’s liberal arts education, accounting
enables students to cope with the real world. I am forever grateful
for all my accounting professors.”
