PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:
The Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting presents learners with a carefully designed curriculum that will develop learners' analytical and practical skills critical for accounting, tax, auditing, financial management and management control systems. Learners will also be equipped with applied competencies and communication skills through modern digital technologies relevant to the economic, legal and governance paradigms that impact the accounting field. While there is an emphasis on application and developing practical quantitative and financial skills, the qualification will address the capacity constraints within the accounting field that hinders sustainable economic growth by contributing towards dealing with issues that directly affect the drivers of economic development, domestic and foreign investment. These issues include fraud and corruption, poor public sector governance and financial management, poor accounting and auditing practices.

Based on national and international benchmarking, and the national demand for specific accounting competencies, the qualification is designed to cover the five specialised areas of:
  • Financial Accounting.
  • Management Accounting.
  • Financial Management.
  • Auditing and assurance.
  • Taxation.

    Learners will develop analytical and practical skills in accounting and management control systems within these subject areas. The qualification will also cover content on corporate governance, corporate law, professional ethics, information technology, statistics and economics within these various modules. The emphasis throughout is on the application and developing practical quantitative and financial skills and application within the legal and ethical frameworks. The profession's capacity to address constraints to sustainable growth, such as fraud and corruption, poor public sector governance and financial management, poor accounting, and auditing practices, is as important as these directly affect the drivers of economic development, including domestic and foreign investment. These competencies will be built through ensuring graduates have a firm grasp of the relevant practices and guidelines and frameworks such as understanding of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Auditing Standards, Companies Act, Tax Laws, the governance codes such as the KING IV Code of Corporate Governance.

    On completion of the qualification learners will be equipped with the following competencies:
  • Evaluate and apply technical knowledge base, proficiency and pervasive skills to demonstrate initiative and responsibility, leading to the development of leadership qualities.
  • Analyse and apply knowledge through theory in the core areas of accounting, auditing, taxation and financial management, from a local and an international perspective.
  • Apply specific technical skills to function both in the world of work and independently by embarking on gainful economic activities and contributing to economic development.
  • Apply analytical skills in the area of resource utilisation including people, finance, equipment, time, space and information for decision making.
  • Evaluate and apply ethical and governance codes and a sound grasp and application of the relevant practices, guidelines and frameworks such as IFRS, International Auditing Standards, Companies Act, Tax laws.
  • Identify and apply appropriate techniques of problem resolution including developing, defending and implementing recommendations.

    Rationale:
    The South African economy is characterised by both high levels of unemployment, and severe shortages of certain skills critical for economic development. The National Development Plan identifies accountants among other key professions as in short supply. The accountants' level of demand is designated as "Highest" in the Department of Higher Education and Technology (DHET)'s National List of Occupations in High Demand (DHET, 2018). Previous research conducted by the South African Institute of Accountants in 2008 revealed that South Africa has a shortage of up to 22 000 accounting practitioners. This number includes all levels from junior to senior accounting positions.

    The Manpower Group's 13th annual Talent Shortage Survey of 2019, places accounting and finance fourth on the list of South Africa's top skills shortage, while globally, accounting and finance are placed seventh on the list. The World Bank's South Africa Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes - Accounting and Auditing (ROSC A&A) observed that many accountants in South Africa are not professionally qualified and are not members of any controlling professional body and therefore are not regulated or controlled by any professional body, a situation the World Bank describes as not good for investment and economic development. The ROSC A & A Report 2013 attributed this shortage to very few entrants into the Professional Accounting Organisations (PAOs).

    The South African government has also identified these shortages as one of the binding constraints to achieving higher and shared economic growth in the country. This qualification will contribute towards increasing the number of accounting graduates who choose to pursue the Chartered Accountant (CA) route with an option to seek professional memberships with other major professional accounting bodies such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA).

    The qualification has been designed to address the skills shortages and capacitate graduates to take up employment or engage in gainful entrepreneurial activities as well as create employment. It allows learners to obtain knowledge and competencies which will further support specialised employment opportunities in the accounting, auditing, taxation, and financial management job market.

    Upon completion of the qualification qualifying learners will be able to work in all sectors of the economy as:
  • Financial accountants.
  • Management accountant.
  • Financial analysts.
  • Finance managers.
  • Cost accountants.
  • Budget officers.
  • Tax advisors.
  • Business managers.
  • Chief Financial Officers.

    Learners will be able to assume lower-level management, middle management and senior management roles within the various organisations in both private, public sector and non-governmental organisations, running operations and providing advice and strategic direction. The qualification allows learners to study towards professional qualifications and designation awards from major professional bodies.

    Regionally, some African countries such as Zimbabwe have a different model and offer qualifications at an honours level similar to the United Kingdom system. The University of Namibia offers a Bachelor of Accounting, and this was found to be very comparable to our Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting.

    Country: Republic of Namibia
    Institution: University of Namibia (UNAM)
    Qualification Title: Bachelor of Accounting
    Level: Level 7
    Credits: 412 Credits

    This qualification compares best with the international qualification in that the exit level outcomes are similar in the following aspects:
  • Communicate knowledge and understanding of several of the major contexts within which accounting operates, based on a critical evaluation of related theoretical and conceptual frameworks and of empirical evidence as to its effects.
  • Communicate knowledge and understanding of, and appropriate ability to use and critically evaluate, current and major alternative technical languages and practices of accounting, together with appropriate ability to apply them.
  • Record and summarise financial data and prepare financial statements.
  • Manipulate financial and other numerical data and appropriate understanding of and ability to apply mathematical and statistical concepts.

    This qualification uses the following assessment methods similar to the new qualification:
    Learners will be assessed by formative and summative assessments which include:
    The learner is admitted to the examination in a module if the required continuous assessment mark of 40% has been obtained. A learner passes a module if a final mark of 50% is obtained. The final mark consists of the continuous assessment mark and the examination mark in a ratio of 50:50. A sub minimum of 40% must be obtained in the continuous assessment as well as examination.

    In Conclusion, the qualification was found to be very comparable to the proposed qualification. Regionally some African countries such as Zimbabwe have a different model and offer qualifications at the Honours level similar to the United Kingdom system.

    Comparison:
    Internationally this qualification can be compared to qualifications offered by the universities in Australia and New Zealand. The Australian education system is very similar to the South African system. Both systems have a three-year degree structure and an additional one-year for honours, unlike most European universities with a four-year structure with honours.

    The closest was the universities in Australia which have a similar three-year Bachelor of Commerce degree. Among other universities, four Australian universities offering some Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting degrees were chosen for international benchmarking purposes. The proposed qualification compares very well with the Bachelor of Commerce degrees in accounting offered by the Curtin University (Perth, Western Australia), Deakin University, University of Tasmania, and the University of Queensland in terms of structure, content and exit level outcomes. The University of Tasmania offers a Bachelor of Business in Accounting and offers a good comparison.
    Other institutions in India offer a common syllabus for the Bachelor of Commerce Honours in Accounting, which also presents a good comparison in terms of exit levels outcomes.

    the Bachelor of Accounting offered by the University of Namibia is comparable to our Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting in terms of exit level outcomes, alignment to the National Qualification as Level 7 of Namibia which is comparable to the South African NQF level. The grade 12 entry requirements are similar, the programme is offered over three years and the exit level modules are similar and cover similar exit level outcomes.

    Conclusion:
    The Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting, therefore, has been widely compared with the leading international institutions and it compares well with similar qualifications in terms of structure, content and exit level outcomes. It will therefore offer comparability for articulation either horizontally or vertically for postgraduate studies as well as mobility for graduates seeking employment and other opportunities abroad.
