Should You Study Banking, Finance and Insurance or Accountancy/Accounting?
Banking, Finance and Insurance and Accountancy/Accounting are often considered together because both deal with money, business and financial information. They are nevertheless different courses.
Accountancy/Accounting
Accountancy/Accounting is centred more directly on accounting information. Students learn how financial transactions are recorded, processed, analysed and reported. The discipline is closely connected with accounting practice and financial reporting.
Banking, Finance and Insurance
This programme has a wider financial-services orientation. It brings banking, finance and insurance into one programme, making it suitable for students interested in financial institutions, financial decisions, insurance and related services.
JAMB lists Accountancy/Accounting and Banking, Finance and Insurance as separate programmes.
Making the choice
If you enjoy accounting records, reporting and accounting procedures, Accountancy/Accounting may be the more natural fit. If you are more interested in banking, finance and insurance services, the combined programme may suit you better.
