FNS30322 Certificate III in Accounts Administration

About this qualification

FNS30322 covers the practical end of finance: entering data, processing accounts and payroll, handling customers through a transaction, producing reports. The register lists exactly those functions.

Two of the seven core units are software-shaped — spreadsheets, and running a computerised accounting system. That is a fair reflection of the job.

Eleven units: seven core, four elective.
