Do I really need an Honours Degree or postgraduate qualification in accounting or other related fields?
Yes, or equivalent. The technical content of the position is such that an advanced knowledge of accounting theory is required. Whilst specialised technical knowledge is not required, the Graduate must have a strong understanding of accounting. This knowledge base is then built on to enable the Graduate to complete specific projects. An Honours degree or postgraduate qualification signifies a basic understanding of the research process, the ability to thoroughly think through accounting issues and the capacity to analyse contemporary accounting issues.
