MAcc - Sprott ​School of ​Business

Sprott’s Master of Accounting (MAcc) is a program that provides a gateway to a career ​as a professional accountant. Students graduating from the MAcc will be exempt from ​the CPA Canada Professional Education Program (PEP) and will proceed directly to the ​CPA Canada Common Final Examination, which is one of the final steps in becoming a ​Chartered Professional Accountant.

The Sprott MAcc goes beyond the CPA professional requirements by providing students ​with all four competencies in the accounting field: assurance, tax, finance and ​performance management. This breadth of knowledge prepares graduates to work in a ​variety of professional roles.

The accounting faculty within the Sprott School of Business are experts on the ​competencies required by the accounting profession. In addition, MAcc candidates will ​have several of their cases graded by those who have professional marking experience.

The size of our program fosters close connections among Master of Accounting ​students. The MAcc Society enhances the student experience by facilitating social, ​networking and other non-academic events.
