Business Accountancy

The Business Accountancy post-graduate certificate runs over three semesters, with classes delivered at the Moose Jaw and Saskatoon campuses. Each semester builds on the previous one, moving from foundational accounting principles to more specialised topics such as taxation and commercial law. Students may attend full-time on-campus sessions or part-time/online options, following the same semester sequence.

The programme follows the CPA competency map, covering accounting practices, management, taxation and the legal framework that underpins financial reporting. The curriculum blends theoretical concepts with practical case studies, ensuring graduates can apply accounting standards, manage tax obligations and interpret commercial law in real-world contexts. It prepares graduates to meet the requirements of the Chartered Professional Accountant designation.

It is aimed at holders of a recognised bachelor’s degree who wish to advance into the accounting profession. Applicants should be ready to develop the technical and professional skills needed for CPA eligibility and to pursue a career in finance or audit. Successful graduates are positioned to apply for CPA certification and enter roles such as accountant, auditor or tax consultant.
