This study aimed to determine the Level of Competencies of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy Fourth Year Students of the University of Rizal System Binangonan: An Input to Curriculum Development. The study used the mixed research method incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods, with a survey questionnaire as the main data-gathering instrument followed by a focus group interview. The respondents of the study were the 77 fourth year Bachelor of Science in Accountancy students of the University of Rizal System Binangonan A.Y. 2024- 2025. Based on the analysis and interpretation made, the researchers found that| most of the respondents belonged to the age bracket of 20 to 22 years old, and the majority were female.

Their perceived level of competency in Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting (AFAR), Taxation, and Auditing, however, was rated as "Good," interpreted as fairty competent. Furthermore, the factors affecting the respondents' level of competencies, including study habits, motivations, teaching techniques and resources and facilities, were rated as "Agree," signifying that these factors do influence their competency levels. Additionally, the study found no significant difference in the level of competencies of the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy Fourth Year Students across the board subjects. The qualitative results of the study reveal that 4th-year BSA students at the University of Rizal System Binangonan face significant challenges across several subjects. In Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), students struggle with the complexity of accounting standards and their application, along with time management and the volume of material. Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting (AFAR) presents difficulties with specialized topics and the need for strong foundational knowledge. Regulatory Framework for Business Transactions (RFBT) is demanding due to its legal terminology, memorization load, and the interpretation of legal provisions. Management Services (MS) challenges students with complex computations, quantitative techniques, and the depth of topics. Auditing poses difficulties in understanding audit procedures and applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Finally, Taxation is seen as complex due to its technical nature, changing laws, and the combination of legal and numerical aspects. It was suggested that the University of Rizal System Binangonan should strengthen its Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting (AFAR) curriculum by integrating targeted reinforcement such as real-world case analyses, peer-to-peer learning, and mentorship programs to support struggling students. To enhance practical skills, a simulation-based auditing program could be implemented, allowing students to conduct mock audits and apply auditing principles in a realistic setting, It is recommended for the University to also use updated examination materials aligned with current accounting standards to ensure students are industry-ready. Providing adequate facilities, especially computer laboratories, would support hands-on learning, Additionally, forming partnerships with reputable review centers could offer students specialized training, discounted fees, and access to study materials, bridging the gap between academics and exam readiness. Lastly, students must focus on strengthening their foundational accounting knowledge to overcome subject challenges
