The accounting profession is facing new challenges in the areas of tax, auditing, fraud, and accounting information systems. The completion of the Data Analytics in Accounting and Tax, Enhanced Skills Certificate (ESC) will allow current and future accountants to address those challenges and gain a deeper insight into the clients’ businesses to make more informed decisions, ultimately leading to improved financial forecasting, enhanced risk management, and more accurate financial reporting.
Students registering for the Certificate must have earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting or an AAS degree in accounting. The four courses (12 EQH) in this certificate are also CPA exam-qualifying courses but count towards the CPA exam qualification only if they are taken after earning a bachelor’s degree from a recognized college or university by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. Students planning to enroll in this enhanced skill certificate program are highly advised to see the accounting department chair prior to enrollment.
