Accountancy Changes

Accountancy I has been reorganised to comprise one compulsory paper on the theory and practice of Accountancy. The other paper will be either financial Accounting and interpretation of financial statements, or the construction and interpretation of local body and government accounts. Candidates selecting the latter option will not be permitted to proceed to Accountancy II. A new subject, Accountancy for Economics II, will be available as an alternative to Accountancy I for those majoring in Economics. A prerequisite is either a pass or enrolment in Economics II.

McKinlay returns to forum.

Administration I is to serve as a base for both Business Administration II and the advanced stages of Public Administration. The departments of Business Administration and Political Science will share the course which is a study of the nature and administration of business and public organisations.

The final core unit is Quantitative Analysis. This course will consist of three lectures and one tutorial a week. One lecture per week (throughout the year) will be on aspects of pure methematics which are important in administration and economics. Due consideration will be given by the lecturers to the problems of students who have not taken maths to U.E. level. (All students who will be taking the course next year are advised to brush up their School Certificate mathematics. Any student who would like further information about this new unit may consult Professor Stamp.)

The remaining lecture will concentrate on statistical methods and analysis, while in tutorials students will work through examples designed to illustrate both aspects of the course.
