Overview

Finance and Accounting are considered by many to be at the heart of business operations.

The goal of the OTHM Level 4 Diploma in Accounting and Business is to provide students with a core understanding of business and accounting in a wider business context, and encourage practical experience with cash flow and budget maintenance, industry-focused skills to manage finances, as well as a solid understanding of business growth.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
