Master in Accounting & Finance
Introduction
Professional accountants are increasingly being appointed to helm large corporations in a rapidly challenging and highly dynamic business environment in both the private and public sectors. With a clear mandate from government and industry regulators to enhance business performance, accountants have taken up key positions in the corporate world, expanding their expertise into other service industries such as ICT, transportation and aviation.
The MAF program aims to provide the theoretical framework and skills which accountants and financial managers need in order to cope with an increasingly complex and global accountancy environment. The program provides an advanced study of accounting and financial management, enabling accounting and finance graduates to extend their academic training to the frontiers of professional knowledge and also enabling professionally qualified accountants to take stock of, and enhance, what they have learnt in practice. With the MAF, candidates are admitted as CPA (Australia) associate students with 2 elective exemptions for the CPA examinations.
