In the accounting/finance and management fields, technicians assist management with decision-making.

In the area of accounting, graduates may be involved in the initial stages of the accounting cycle and may provide technical support for accounting tasks including the implementation of accounting systems, internal controls, budget planning and estimates of manufacturing costs. Measurement of liabilities and taxation is also an area where technicians can make a contribution.

In the area of finance, graduates support the management of working capital funds, treasury, financial analysis, and the evaluation of investments and their return. In management practice, they support the management of the human, financial and material resources of a company.
