The Diploma in Accounting at Ghana Communication Technology University is a business programme for SHS leavers from the Business track. It introduces the skills needed to keep financial records, prepare reports, and support business decision-making. Read on to find out what the programme covers, how competitive entry is, and where it can lead.

What the Diploma in Accounting covers

A Diploma in Accounting typically introduces the core principles of financial and management accounting. You learn how to record transactions, prepare financial statements, and interpret financial information for decision-making. Most programmes also cover taxation, auditing, and business law, giving you a practical grounding in how businesses manage their money. By the end, you should be comfortable with double-entry bookkeeping, basic financial analysis, and the ethical responsibilities of an accounting professional.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this diploma is less competitive than many other programmes at GCTU. The Business School admits SHS graduates from the Business track. While the less competitive rating means you may not need the top grades, you still need to meet GCTU's published entry requirements and compete with other applicants. Check the university's admission page to confirm your eligibility.

What you can do with an Accounting Diploma

Most graduates start in entry-level accounting roles such as accounting assistant, bookkeeper, or accounts payable clerk. Others go into payroll processing, tax preparation, or audit support. The diploma also provides a pathway to further study, including higher national diploma (HND) or degree programmes, and professional accounting qualifications like ACCA or ICA Ghana.
