Masters in Professional Accountancy - Chartered Accountant

The Master of Professional Accountancy (Chartered Accountant) (MPAcc (CA)) at Massey University is designed for students aiming to build a career in professional accounting, finance, and business management. This programme combines academic study with the requirements of the CA Program, helping you work towards becoming a Chartered Accountant in New Zealand.

The degree covers key areas of accounting principles, financial reporting, auditing, taxation, and business strategy, with a strong focus on practical application. It is suitable for students from both accounting and non-accounting backgrounds, allowing you to develop the knowledge and skills needed for professional roles in the field.

By completing the MPAcc (CA), you will meet the academic and professional requirements set by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ). After graduation, the remaining step towards full CA designation is completing the required three years of mentored practical experience while working.

This qualification strengthens your ability to apply accounting knowledge in real business environments, supporting career growth into senior accounting, finance, and advisory roles. It also reflects a strong commitment to professional development, which is highly valued by employers.

For students interested in accounting careers, Chartered Accountant pathways, and finance roles in New Zealand, this programme offers a clear and recognised route into the profession.
