The Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies' School of Administrative Studies (SAS) has received accreditation for its accounting program, which includes its Bachelor of Administrative Studies (BAS) Specialized Honours in Accounting and a new Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting, from the Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) of Ontario.

The graduate diploma, which consists of five courses that can be completed in one term, provides SAS accounting students with a new pathway to the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation. Students of the accredited program will tackle a variety of complex issues, from providing tax advice to a small business owner to developing a performance measurement system for a large organization, while at the same time completing four modules of the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP).

“The graduate diploma builds upon SAS’ outstanding reputation for providing a flexible and accessible accounting program that prepares students for successful careers in accounting. SAS’ accounting alumni work around the globe in a variety of roles and organizations, including all the major accounting firms and even the United Nations,” says Professor Adriano Solis, director of the school.
