develop the accounting professionals needed for the wide application of modern information technology.
In order to cultivate professionals who can combine accounting and information technology to solve the dilemma of the accounting
industry lacking such management talents in the transformation process, the Department will strengthen the ability of training students

Software, Data Analysis and Statistics, Database Management, Big Data in Business Analysis and Decision-Making, Activity Value
Management , Accounting Information Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Computerized Auditing, and other IT application and

Department Features
Put emphasis on the importance of obtaining professional licenses related to accounting and information technology.

importance of obtaining accounting-related professional licenses. We hope that through the "certification system" that comprehensively

competitiveness in the future workplace. For example, in terms of the accounting professional ability certification, we encourage
students to take exams to become a bookkeeper, a senior accounting professional and/or a Certified Public Accountant, and we will
reward the students with excellent performance in the exams to shape a good atmosphere for studying to pass the certification exams
and improve their competitiveness in the future workplace. In addition to the professional compulsory courses related to accounting
