Appendix - Mapping of Course Learning Outcomes to QAA Benchmarks BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance- Satisfying QAA Subject Benchmarks for Accounting

Subject-specific knowledge and skills

Accounting as a degree subject requires students to study

how the design, operation and validation of accounting

systems affect, and are affected by, individuals,

organisations, markets, society and the environment. This

study is informed by perspectives from the social sciences.

Such perspectives may include, but are not restricted to, the

behavioural, the economic, the political, and the sociological.

As indicated above, accounting is often studied in

combination with a significant amount of finance. Under such

circumstances, the degree structure should also require the

study of the operation and design of financial systems, risk,

financial structures, and financial instruments. On

completion of the degree, a student should have the

following subject-specific knowledge and skills: Fin
