UTS Bachelor of Accounting Co-op Scholarship
The UTS Bachelor of Accounting Co-op Scholarship provides students with a multi-skilled accounting degree with strong emphasis on both accounting and financial management which are essential business tools.
Business managers consistently rate accounting as the most important business discipline to learn.

- Management accounting - providing detailed information to management on how the business is performing;
- Auditing - the independent examination of a business's financial statements, upon which external decision-makers such as investors, creditors and the Government rely;
- Tax accounting - to ensure compliance with the tax laws while minimising taxes paid by business;
- Corporate restructuring - working with newly acquired, merged or reconstructed businesses
- Insolvency - managing the affairs of businesses in financial trouble, as appointed by the business's creditors or a court;
- Budgeting and planning - setting detailed plans for achieving a business’ goals; and
- Cost accounting - analysing the specific costs of a business in order to achieve greater profitability.
Other roles in business open to Accounting graduates are as follows:
- Finance - business investment and financing decision-making
- Management consulting - providing advice and planning services on how to better run businesses;
- Information system design - developing systems (usually computerised) to handle an organisation's information needs;
