Diploma in Business Administration Techniques - Accounting and Finance

This Diploma of College Studies (DEC), program code 410.CF, is an Accounting and Finance profile of the Business Administration Techniques program at Cegep de Victoriaville. Students learn to perform accounting-cycle operations, analyze financial statements, and prepare and manage budgets, alongside coursework in personnel management, project management, business law, and taxation. A distinctive feature of the profile is participation in the program's Tax Clinic, where students prepare real income-tax returns for clients. The program runs three years over six sessions of full-time study, with roughly 28 to 29 hours of coursework per week, and includes practical components such as internship placements. Graduates are prepared for accounting, bookkeeping, and finance-support roles in businesses and organizations, or for further undergraduate study in accounting, finance, or business administration. Admission requires a Quebec Secondary School Diploma (DES) or equivalent; the program has no specific subject prerequisites.
