40 MAcc Master of Accounting with routes in Corporate Governance, Oil & Gas Accounting and Public Sector Financial Management Contact: The Admission Team E: accounting@gcal.ac.uk T: +44(0)141 331 8744 W: www.caledonian.ac.uk/cbs The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) suite of programmes is designed to reflect the fact that accountancy is an intellectually demanding, important and dynamic discipline. The MAcc programme, and its themed routes, seek to develop an understanding of issues faced by organisations which operate internationally. It does so through a study of current research and practice. The MAcc programme also provides for flexibility. Students may study for a general MAcc or for one of a number of specialist MAccs. These have all been designed in a way that allows a student the opportunity to delay their final choice of named route until the second semester. MAcc Route The MAcc programme considers and reflects upon the complexity of the accountancy processes from an international perspective and allows a student to engage critically with contemporary issues in financial accounting, management accounting, financial management and public sector accounting. It is suitable for those who may be intending to become professional accountants, but is also appropriate for those who wish to gain an understanding of the role of accountancy in order to enhance career prospects within the broader managerial role. This MAcc demonstrates the vital importance of accountancy to the well-being of the society it should serve. It corrects the common misconception of accountancy being a routine technical process and illustrates vividly the rich role it has to play in shaping international business and indeed, politics. MAcc Corporate Governance The MAcc (Corporate Governance) is designed for business professionals pursuing their careers at national or international level, who wish to develop their understanding of contemporary governance issues within an international context. Effective corporate governance is vital for contemporary organisations, whether these are multinational groups, smaller companies or equivalent organisations within the public sector. Even a very cursory review of the business pages confirms the high profile governance enjoys as a contemporary issue. Investor reservations about the robustness of corporate governance impact upon the market capitalisation of companies. Recent corporate failures have raised concerns about the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanisms. The MAcc (Corporate Governance) aims to produce financially orientated managers who have a desire to possess a competitive advantage in this strategically important area. The programme specialises in a range of contemporary corporate governance issues. These include the nature of corporate governance, corporate governance structures, alternative board structures, international corporate governance, key governance stakeholders, directors’ performance and remuneration, the role of investors in corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. MAcc Oil and Gas Accounting This route has been designed to meet the needs of: international students with an interest in oil and gas accounting; employees of oil and gas companies; employees of governments with oil and gas interests; and to graduates of accounting or finance who wish to extend their expertise to the field of oil and gas accounting. It also provides a solid foundation for further postgraduate study by providing training in research methods and methodology. Our MAcc graduates should find their career prospects greatly enhanced. The MAcc (Oil and Gas Accounting) focuses on current developments in international accounting regulation and practice in general and provides specialist teaching in oil and gas accounting which then forms the basis for the preparation of a dissertation on a topic related to oil and gas accounting. MAcc Public Sector Financial Management The Masters programme has been designed for recent high calibre graduates who are seeking to develop their understanding of the issues and challenges that are inherent in financial management within the public sector as a means of broadening their career opportunities. Within the international arena, there are many ongoing exciting and dynamic changes in public sector financial management, especially within developing or transitional economies. The MAcc (Public Sector Financial Management) offers a programme of study that will enable you to engage critically and professionally with the important contemporary issues in public sector financial management. Specifically, the core objectives of the programme are to: • Develop a high level of analytical and professional competence in financial management and, in particular, public services financial management • Develop an understanding of the role of financial management in the provision of public services • Develop a high level of competence and critical awareness of key business disciplines and their application within the public sector • Encourage public services financial managers to become reflective practitioners • Develop an understanding of the distinctive issues and factors that drive financial management within public organisations. These programmes offer an advanced understanding of accountancy that will enable graduates to prepare for a career within the broad area of the accountancy profession. Graduates will also be able to pursue a career in other areas, both in the private and public sectors, where a knowledge and understanding of accountancy and finance is considered desirable. The acquisition of subject specific knowledge and understanding together with the development of generic skills will allow graduates to occupy managerial roles. We welcome applications from holders of qualifications in cognate disciplines from institutions anywhere in the world. These qualifications should normally be the equivalent of an Honours degree of a UK university. Two references are also required (preferably one academic and one employment).
