Level 4 AAT Internal Accounting Systems and Controls

Course Overview

All organisations must guard against fraud through good control systems. However, many businesses underestimate both the probability and impact of employee fraud. Those working within the accounts department play a pivotal role in guarding against misuse of resources. This qualification is suitable for learners who have knowledge of the fundamental principles of data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) as well as cloud accounting and data security. You will benefit from analysing a range of scenarios covering the different accounting systems and applying analytical techniques. This distance learning AAT unit has close links with Level 3 Business Awareness, Level 4 Applied Management Accounting and Level 4 Audit and Assurance. This is a mandatory unit if learners are undertaking the full AAT L4 Accounting qualification.

What is AAT? AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) is the world’s leading professional body for bookkeeping and accounting with over 130,000 members worldwide. Their qualifications are developed in consultation with employers and will equip you with the key financial skills modern businesses are currently looking for, plus they are the perfect starting point for a successful, rewarding career in accounting and finance.

If you wish to use these units towards sitting your AAT exam, it is important to register with AAT before completing these standalone units, so the GLH is counted towards your overall qualification.
