• Manufacturing Accounts for a factory situation
• Departmental Accounts  for a business with more than one dept.
• Club Accounts for  the treasurer to prepare for a Club situation

Financial Manager at Musgrave's visits fifth year Accounting class

The fifth year Accounting students had a very interesting visitor in Ciara Meegan, a past pupil who did accounting at Our Lady's and is now working as financial manager in Musgraves in Belfast. Ciara visited the class in May 2011 and spoke to the students about the application of the skills they are learning everyday in  accounting class.  This was very interesting and informative for the students to hear about the use of accounting in the workplace.  Ciara gave each student a flake bar that was to be launched the following week to get the students reaction to the new more improved tasting bar, naturally the students were delighted to oblige!
