Overview

Master of Professional Accounting

If you don’t already have a formal accounting qualification and are ready to break into this thriving field, Master of Professional Accounting is the perfect place to start. 

It is a particularly attractive choice for those seeking practical accreditation on top of their existing tertiary education.

Accounting, finance and economics are about more than just looking at numbers. 

Master of Professional Accounting will provide you with a fresh perspective in using this information to provide expert advice and positively impact the lives of people around the world.

You will develop comprehensive knowledge in key areas such as financial reporting, taxation, auditing, and budgeting

You’ll also learn the legal ins and outs of associated compliance and performance requirements to ensure statutory and strategic governance.

From quantifying the financial benefits of sustainable, fair trade business practices; to providing evidence-based solutions to emerging issues and business challenges.
