Off Campus International Master of Accountancy (OC-IMAcc)

Delivered by Brock University professors at Shanghai University campus

With China’s accession to WTO, rapid expansion of business activities among the global markets and within China requires Chinese financial and accounting professionals to master international financial reporting standards. The Off-Campus International Master of Accountancy (OC-IMAcc) program will further build a bridge of advanced knowledge in accounting and related aspects of business between China and Canada.

The OC-IMAcc program integrates knowledge of individual technical accounting and business subjects in the context of a global environment. The program fosters a culture of accountancy based on professionalism, integrity, and independence of thought. Students will develop critical thinking and communication skills through the use of cases and other business projects.

All aspects of professional communication are strongly emphasized: writing, speaking, listening, and reading.

We believe the graduate experience provides the breadth, depth, and professional attitudes that will be needed by the accounting profession in the future, and enhances the career prospects for graduates.

The program encourages the development of critical thinking, analytic and communication skills. It is intended to enhance the ability of students to adapt and respond to a complex changing business environment and to develop a professional attitude, with sensitivity to related ethical questions.

The overall objective is to provide a strong academic grounding that will support and encourage the expansion of knowledge for both the individual and the profession over the long term.
