Future accounting professionals will be adept at using technology to, among other things, solve problems, plan strategies, evaluate risks, and predict trends. Sampoerna University’s Bachelor of Accounting program is designed to equip students with analytical reasoning, and data skills, and be inspired by professional and scholarly accounting research that provides students with insights into issues underlying accounting numbers, thereby fostering their ability to make sound and strategic business decisions. Throughout their education, students are exposed to various ethical and social cases intended to cultivate an attitude that upholds ethical values and social responsibility in the workplace.
In the Accounting Study Program, at Sampoerna University, we offer high-quality accounting education to students, as elaborated below Accounting Study Pathways. If the students meet the minimum GPA of 3.3 by the end of their fifth semester, the students will be allowed to earn one of the following professional qualifications.
a. CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting
The student must complete six CGMA Finance Leadership Program (FLP) modules and pass two exams to earn the degree. CGMA (Chartered Global Management Accountant) is the most widely held management accounting designation in the world with more than 137,000 designees. It was established in 2012 by the AICPA and CIMA to recognize a unique group of management accountants who have reached the highest benchmark of quality and competence. After the program, students are permitted to append the designation CIMA Adv. Dip. MA. to their names.

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are mandatory in over one hundred nations worldwide. The European Union (EU) requires all publicly traded enterprises to prepare consolidated financial statements following IFRS. Also affected are subsidiaries and affiliates of EU-listed companies. Other countries, like Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Indonesia align their accounting standards to the IFRS.
