If you’re an educational professional who are looking to progress into management and consultancy, or an educational planning or development role, this is the best degree for you.
The control and accountability in small and medium sized enterprises course will cover control and accountability issues in a small business environment. These issues are essential to being in control as a small business manager as they improve decision making. Only then entrepreneurs are fully able to concentrate on and fully exploit their entrepreneurial skills. To that end, the course deals with the relevant financial reporting issues, and typical management accounting and control issues in small businesses.
Furthermore, the course will discuss the internal control system in small businesses to provide the entrepreneur with relevant and reliable information for decision making. Also, the IT issues in small businesses will be discussed as this appears to be a major problem area. There often is insufficient knowledge of the IT risks within small business, and small businesses are unaware of the measures that can be taken to mitigate these IT risks. Furthermore, small businesses may have difficulties in implementing such measures because their limited size and resources may force them to depend heavily on third parties (i.e. outsourcing, application service providers).
As a result, most small businesses have little control over their IT resources. Therefore, all these three issues related to the role of Information technology within small business will be addressed. The course will not only provide students with an overview of the academic literature on control and accountability in small businesses. It will also train practical skills that are important in a small business environment by using cases on the various small business aspects in the area of control and accountability.

The PLP in Drafting Legislation, Regulation, and Policy has been offered by the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies with considerable success since 2004.
The programme aims to promote an understanding of the principles of legislative and an awareness of what constitutes legislative quality, how this can be achieved.
Legislative drafting is often perceived as a skill that one learns on the job.
Legislative drafting has evolved to become the bedrock of political, economic and social transformation. The view of the Institute’s Sir William Doe Centre for Legislative Studies is that legislative drafting is a practical discipline requiring awareness of the principles of drafting along with great experience on the job. It is still, however, relatively unexplored as a discipline. The PLP examines issues related to the policy process, the legislative process and the drafting process.
The PLP is aimed at those seeking a career in legislative drafting, those already working as drafters or those who want a career in or already working for, organizations that produce different types of normative acts. Many of our students are mid-career drafters employed by government (for example, by LG Chambers, the Ministry of Justice or any other ministries).
