The paper identifies and discusses a number of issues for competency development at undergraduate level in a business studies faculty. Expectations of what constitutes competent and capable graduates were reported in a number of significant reports in Australia throughout the 1990s and this paper reports an initial micro-competency audit process that was conducted on the human resource management subjects that are undertaken as part of an undergraduate business degree program. It uses a framework comprising eight generic competences to audit the content, teaching processes and assessments used to deliver the programs.
