Master of Financial Accountability

The MFAc degree will provide a value-added educational experience through seeking solutions to some of the toughest and most pressing challenges in the field such as the aftermath of the global financial crisis, climate change, cyber security and corruption. The MFAc is the only program in Canada to offer a specialized focus in financial accountability and consists of four dynamic and interrelated conceptual cornerstones: (1) Corporate Ethics; (2) Regulative Standards and Legislative Requirements; (3) Effective Information Systems; and (4) Transparency in Reporting (the program’s ultimate goal). The cornerstones are well reflected in core courses and optional courses to be taught by nationally andor internationally recognized faculty members and industry experts.

The program is also distinguished by its orientation towards accredited and experienced practicing professionals who are encountering an increased demand for specialized skills and knowledge unique to the area of governance and accountability.

The MFAc is a graduate business degree and applicants need to demonstrate competence in business either through academic background or relevant work experience. To be considered for admission candidates should have either:

• An Honours Bachelor's Degree in Business (A four-year degree with a minimum B average.)
• An Honours Bachelor's Degree in another field (A four-year degree with a minimum B average and at least two years of demonstrated business experience.)
