The Extended Bachelor of Commerce in Financial Accountancy at NWU is a four-year programme offered at the Mahikeng and Vanderbijlpark campuses, providing an accessible entry point into the Financial Accountancy degree for students who demonstrate potential but require additional academic preparation. The extended curriculum gives students foundational support before progressing into the full financial accounting programme, addressing common gaps in mathematical and analytical readiness. This programme is particularly relevant for students from historically disadvantaged schooling environments who aspire to accounting careers and professional registration as South African Professional Accountants. Graduates who wish to pursue the CA(SA) designation may proceed to the CTA Honours programme.
