Accounting

The increasingly dynamic global business environment has influenced the accounting profession and the accounting curriculum. Accounting professionals practice in a complex, technical, ethical, and analytical setting. The accounting curriculum at Walsh addresses these areas and prepares students entering the accounting profession to compete knowledgably and effectively in public accounting, government, management or other private non-for-profit positions. The accounting faculty believes that the best preparation they can provide for our students is in a curriculum that emphasizes management accounting skills and general business issues, while offering options to those students who would like to pursue professional certifications. The goal of the accounting curriculum is to produce graduates that are critical thinkers with superior communication and analytical skills grounded in a solid foundation in both the ethical and technical aspects of accounting and business issues.
