B. Sc. Admin Accounting

The B.Sc. Administration Accounting at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development is a degree programme designed to prepare you for a career in accounting and financial management. It combines the practical skills of bookkeeping and auditing with the broader principles of business administration. The programme is offered in Kumasi with weekend and evening classes, making it a flexible option for students with other commitments.

What accounting administration covers

Programmes of this kind typically introduce you to financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, auditing, and business law. You learn how to prepare and interpret financial statements, manage budgets, and understand the regulatory framework that governs businesses in Ghana and internationally. The degree builds strong analytical and numerical skills, alongside careful attention to detail and ethical judgment — all qualities that accountants rely on every day.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other business degrees, which means the entry requirements are generally within reach for SHS leavers who meet the university's basic admission criteria. Because places are not as fiercely contested as in some other courses, your chances of admission are good if your WASSCE grades meet the general requirement for degree programmes. However, you should still aim for your best results, because every applicant is assessed on their own merit.

What you can do after graduating

With an accounting administration degree, you can pursue roles in private companies, public sector organisations, accounting firms, and even your own business. Common career paths include becoming a chartered accountant, financial analyst, auditor, tax consultant, or budget officer. Many graduates also go on to earn professional certifications such as ACCA or CA Ghana, which can open further doors.
