Program Description

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting and Finance with a major concentration in Corporate Finance is designed to prepare you for a career in finance in a corporate environment. The role of a corporate finance manager is to maximize bottom line opportunities for a business.

The corporate finance manager steers the financial direction of the business and undertakes all strategic financial planning and reporting to stakeholders. Corporate finance managers handle all aspects of large transactions for a business, including due diligence.

The role of the financial manager is changing in response to technological advances that have substantially reduced the amount of time it takes to produce financial reports.
