Program details
Overview
Accounting and Strategic Measurement is a diploma program at MacEwan University's Triffo School of Business, with a certificate exit option available to students who do not complete the full diploma. The curriculum emphasizes accounting theory applied through hands-on practice with accounting software and other business technology, teaching students to analyze financial situations, solve accounting problems, and prepare financial statements. Alongside technical accounting skills, the program builds mathematical reasoning, critical thinking, and communication abilities as they apply to financial and business contexts. It suits students with strong quantitative aptitude who want to work in business financial management across a range of industries and organization types, rather than those seeking a narrowly bookkeeping-focused credential. The program is delivered through MacEwan's business school and positions graduates for roles that combine technical accounting competence with practical software skills used in day-to-day financial operations. Specific details on program length, course sequencing, and delivery format are addressed through the university's separate admission requirements and program pages rather than the general overview, so applicants should consult that additional material when planning their studies.
