Welcome to the School of Accounting and Corporate Governance and thanks for visiting our web site. Accounting and Corporate Governance education is one of the long serving areas at the University of Tasmania and has been taught since 1919. Throughout the School's development, and in particular during the last decade, the importance of both teaching and research continues to be emphasised. In today's business environment, more than ever, the School is committed to ensuring that a University education should produce professional competence, a portfolio of intellectual skills and ethical attitudes, the value of which will endure during graduates' working lives. The School's recent move of introducing a major sequence of studies in Corporate Governance is indicative of the School's focus on important issues involving accounting and society.

The School has been a leader in providing flexible teaching and learning and was rewarded in 2002 with a Vice Chancellor's award for teaching excellence, the first time a School at the University had been awarded this honour. The School has ongoing links with professional accounting and corporate governance bodies including CPA Australia; the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the National Institute of Accountants. The School also maintains relationships with industry and government and these links are important to ensure that teaching and research continues to be at the cutting edge.
