A NAPS Bachelor of Business (Accounting) degree is a good investment in your future because a skills shortage has been identified particularly in emerging markets in the areas of accounting, finance, management, logistics and supply chain management. That is because these are professions vital to any significant economic transformation.
According to Hays the leading global specialist recruitment group:
“an increasing number of organisations are looking for greater financial and budgetary awareness, but in many countries, there is a shortage of local candidates with these skills.”

In the case of Africa, it has been reported that the continent:
“has the fastest-growing middle class on the planet and accounted for nine of the 15 fastest-growing economies in the world in 2014.” PwC estimates that “by 2040, Africa is expected to have the world’s largest labour force, ahead of even India and China. But as of today, it is a labour force with some serious skills and education challenges.”
