Objectives
The primary objective of this course is to enable students with a first degree in a non-accounting field to undertake a professional career in accounting (and/or related fields, such as finance). In particular, it is envisaged that accreditation will be granted to allow graduates of the MPA and the Master of Commerce (Professional Accounting) to obtain membership of a recognised professional accounting association. Consistent with this, the primary focus of these courses is to enable students to obtain proficiency in the ‘core curriculum in accounting and business areas’ and ‘generic skills’ specified in the accreditation guidelines issued by CPA Australia.
