Course director: Laurie Webb
The course
This course is a fee paying degree studied on a part-time basis conducted over two to three years.
It is designed to enable students possessing undergraduate degrees in disciplines other than accounting to develop their skills and knowledge of accounting and is suitable for those who wish to work in public practice, industry or academia.
The degree is recognised by the professional accounting bodies which enables graduates to affiliate with the professional body of their choice.
The degree will encompass studies in financial and managerial accounting, taxation, law, auditing and electives chosen from subjects offered in the Master of Business (Accounting).
Objectives
The Master of Practising Accounting program aims to develop and enhance students' knowledge and skills of accounting and related fields. The objectives of these intensive study programs are to offer graduates from non-accounting disciplines the opportunity to introduce and develop their knowledge of accounting and business-related disciplines. In addition, completion of either of these courses will enable graduates to meet the academic requirements for admission to the CPA program of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants and the professional year program of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
Venue
Evening classes are offered at the Caulfield campus.
