Description:

The Master of Accounting is an advanced, specialised degree for accountants. It provides you with a broad understanding of the key contemporary issues in accounting and develops a set of specific competencies representing advanced professional skills. The Master of Accounting builds your capabilities in leading edge accounting and business systems practices and develops skills in business analysis, critical and strategic thinking, problem solving, and oral and written communication. The course is designed to stimulate your awareness of existing and emerging issues, and advance your skills in identifying and solving accounting and business problems of an applied nature.
