The domains and roles are those specifically addressed in IEG11, paragraph 32 - 34. 'Industry and Commerce', 'Public Practice' and the 'Public Sector' (government and other not-for-profit agencies). Roles include the accountant as user of the system, financial manager, auditor and external advisor. Please note the designer role is specifically excluded from this unit.
