The MBS in Accounting is the leading graduate accounting programme of its kind in Ireland, an innovative partnership of learning which is informed and shaped by the needs of the accounting and taxation professionals of tomorrow.
The programme encourages critical and creative thinking, teamwork and communication, and develops a diverse range of professional attributes which equip graduates to excel in the accounting profession and to adopt leadership positions in their professional lives.
The Masters in Accounting at DCU is designed to meet the needs of honours graduates who have taken major accounting specialisms in their undergraduate studies. It allows such candidates to combine study for a Masters degree with study for professional examinations in an educationally effective way.
The programme offers exemptions from all subjects in the CAP2 Examination of Chartered Accountants Ireland. The programme also provides the opportunity for further career progression to graduates of DCU´s Professional Diploma in Accounting.
Contents
The DCU Masters in Accounting programme is delivered on a full-time basis over one year. To encourage participation and facilitate the highest standard of professional delivery, class size is restricted to facilitate participative learning and teamworking in the class.
The programme encompasses both professional and conceptual material. A number of recent reports have recommended this combination as the ideal educational preparation for a career in accountancy.
Among the areas covered on the programme are:
* Financial Accounting
* Taxation
* Critical Perspectives on Accounting
* Corporate and Investment Finance
* Business and Social Environment
* Management Accounting
* Auditing and Professional Ethics
* Assurance Services
* IT and the Accountant
* Research Dissertation / Portfolio
Because all students come from similar backgrounds, it has been possible to design the DCU MBS in Accounting so that it encompasses both professional and conceptual material. A number of recent reports have recommended this combination as the ideal preparation for a career in accountancy.
The Business and Social Environment module is an integral part of the programme and provides a forum for leading speakers to impart their experiences and give a broader perspective of the role of the accountant in society.
Past speakers include: Paul Appleby, Director of Corporate Enforcement; Peter McVerry SJ, The Arrupe Society; Patrick Darcy, Former Garda Fraud Officer; Charlie Bird, RTÉ Chief News Correspondent; Frank Mullin, International Division, Revenue Commissioners; Robbie Kelleher, Head of Research, Davy Stockbrokers; Phil Hogan, Minister for State (1994-1997); Dr Anthony Clare, Psychiatrist; and Conor Crowley, Judge.

Duignan Carthy O'Neill offer a cash prize in the Financial Accounting module. This prize is funded by AGN International, Duignan Carthy O'Neill's international affiliates.
