The Graduate Diploma in Accountancy program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to complete the Elective modules component of the Chartered Professional Accountant Professional Education Program (CPA PEP). After receiving the Graduate Diploma in Accountancy, students will need only to complete the CPA Capstone 1 and 2 to become eligible for the Common Final Examination (CFE) of the CPA PEP.

The Graduate Diploma in Accountancy program consists of the first term of the existing Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program at Brock University. Specifically, the Graduate Diploma in Accountancy program comprises five courses: four courses are required MAcc courses, and one course is an elective Master of Business Administration course, which is chosen based on student’s interests and career aspirations. Students achieving an overall 75% average in their Graduate Diploma in Accountancy program will be offered the opportunity to transfer directly to the MAcc program at Brock University without fulfilling any further MAcc admission requirements.
