Institute of Business and Accounting Studies (IBAS)

The Institute of Business and Accounting Studies (formerly the Foundation for Business Studies) was launched in 1980 in Zimbabwe. The aim is to bring practical business education within the reach of people who have attained a school leaving certificate.

The program also aims at creating an understanding of the business or administrative world. The successful student should be able to use it as an adequate foundation for a clerical or technician-level career. It is recognised as a route for exemptions to CGI’s qualifying scheme.

The Diploma consists of fifteen modules. To recognise progress towards attaining the Diploma, the Institute also, give an Intermediate Diploma in Business and Accounting Studies after one has passed the seven modules or subjects.

Diploma in Forensic Accounting (DFA)

The aim of this Diploma is to equip students with the knowledge of forensic accounting or auditing, forensic investigation and fraud risk management skills together with the corresponding detection and defence techniques. After completing the course, students are expected to have an in-depth understanding of how to conduct forensic auditing investigations, research, cyber-crime investigations and appropriate reporting. Students are expected to gain knowledge and be able to collect evidence that will be acceptable in a court of law.

The DFA program takes about one and half years to complete.

Public Sector Accounting (PSA)

The Institute revised its curricula for the CGP qualification to incorporate public sector financial management. The program was designed for senior public sector employees in the finance department in order to professionalise the public sector.

The accounting profession took due cognisance of the fact that there were finance personnel in the public sector who are already doing the job but not professionalised and those that need training or further training to qualify. Hence, CGI Zimbabwe was selected as one of the pilot PAOs to champion the accelerated Public Sector Capacity Building programme to capacitate the Public Sector with professional accountants.
