The School of Accounting & Finance is one of three Schools of the Faculty of Commerce. The School offers courses in both Accounting & Finance in the degrees offered by the Faculty at all levels - bachelors and masters degrees and doctorates. The School of Accounting and Finance has developed research strengths in a number of areas. Our Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program is the largest of all accounting departments in Australia. The School is regarded as one of the top institutions for alternative research frameworks and application of information technology to learning and teaching. Alternative research frameworks examine accounting in its broader political, economic and social framework. Such research goes beyond the traditional technical focus of accounting and finance.
