Business Analysis and Reporting for Accounting (Graduate Certificate)

The Graduate Certificate in Business Analysis and Reporting for Accounting will provide an opportunity for students to gain in-depth knowledge of business analytics, financial reporting, and managerial accounting. Students will explore advanced topics within predictive analytics, data cleaning and analysis, public accounting, foreign currency, and strategic business decisions. Specifically, students will gain skills and experience in preparing financial statements, financial analysis, data visualizations, data analysis, and statistical modeling. The content in this certificate was intentionally aligned to the Business Analysis and Reporting section of the Uniform Certified Public Accounting (CPA) Examination®. Students interested in the CPA exam and licensure can pursue this certificate to help them prepare for the exam, or obtain remaining credits needed towards the 150 credits needed for eligibility in most jurisdictions. Completion of this Certificate alone will not satisfy complete educational eligibility to sit for the CPA licensure exam or to become a licensed CPA in most jurisdictions. Licensing requirements to sit for the CPA exam vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. SNHU’s Graduate Certificate in Business Analysis and Reporting for Accounting is regularly reviewed against evolving requirements for each U.S. jurisdiction. A list of eligible jurisdictions can be found on the Licensure and Certification Disclosure page on snhu.edu. Students are encouraged to review their jurisdiction-specific requirements. Jurisdiction educational requirements can be found on the website of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA), while jurisdiction CPA licensing requirements can be found through the Accounting Licensing Library, powered by the NASBA.
