The purpose of the Practicum/Supervision/Work-based Project is to provide students with the opportunity to integrate the knowledge and skills gained throughout their programme of study to a world-of-work context. It seeks to give students a real-life, hands-on experience in Accounting, as well as to enhance their ability to conceptualise and write a report, which demonstrates an understanding of the principles and practices of accounting vis-à-vis the practicum/work-based experience.
The practicum is therefore designed to provide a supervised teaching/learning experience requiring learners who are employed in the field of accounting to engage in a work-based study. Learners who are not employed in the sector can engage in an internship where such opportunities are available. This project will be undertaken in the last semester of the final year and be carried out in the financial department of a private or public institution, company or organisation.
