Professional Master's Diploma In Accounting

The Professional Master’s Diploma (PMDiploma) in Accounting is designed to enable individuals to advance their professional careers and work towards the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation.

This Program consists of five courses, including a capstone course all spanning a period of 12-weeks, with a mid-term break. The diploma will offer courses covering Taxation, Auditing and Assurance, Financial and Management Accounting, Performance Management and Financial Analysis.

This master’s diploma in Accounting is accredited by CPA Ontario and will allow students to fulfil the Common Modules (Core 1 & 2) and Elective Modules (Assurance, Performance Management, Tax and Finance)* of the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP). Upon successful completion of the program, students can move directly to the CPA PEP Capstone modules and, ultimately, write the National Common Final Examination (CFE).

Upon completion of the PMDiploma, students will be able to transition directly to the CPA Capstone Module 1. Then, students will take CPA Capstone Module 2, and write the CFE. This progression offers the most direct route to the CFE upon graduation.

The program will employ active learning, guest speakers and extensive use of case studies, discussions and projects consistent with graduate education in Accounting.
