The Dar es Salaam Campus enjoys a strategic location in the heart of Dar es Salaam, the country’s largest city and saves as the headquarters of the Tanzania Institute of Accountancy (TIA). It holds  a significant part in the history of TIA since its establishment in 1973 as the Dar es Salaam School of Accountancy (DSA) through a special decree from the Minister for Finance. At its inception, the DSA’s primary focus was to provide courses for government accounting personnel at lower and mid-level positions, with the overarching goal of enhancing their accounting expertise.

In 2002, the Tanzanian Government took a historic step by officially founding the Tanzania Institute of Accountancy (TIA) through Notice No. 489. This transformative move expanded TIA’s mission, empowering it not only to offer training programs but also to engage in high-quality research and consultancy services in various business-related fields. The Dar es Salaam Campus serves as the foundational model for the establishment of five other operating campuses across different regions in Tanzania. This expansion has contributed significantly to the overall growth and impact of the institute in the country.

The Dar Es Salaam campus offers a diverse array of business-related academic programs, ranging from certificate to Master levels. The programs cover various fields, including accounting, procurement and logistics management, business administration, human resource IT-based management, public sector accounting and finance, marketing and public relations, project planning and management, financial management, and other related areas.
