MSc Accountancy

The MSc in Accountancy (MACC) programme at Nanyang Business School leverages the school's long tradition and successful track record in training executives in accounting and finance-related fields. Each year, we admit two cohorts of around 50 students with a keen interest and enthusiasm to deepen their accountancy skills and knowledge, and to advance their careers in Singapore and beyond.

Our comprehensive curriculum includes data analytics & machine learning for accounting, and forensic accounting & digital forensics. In addition to being taught by our senior faculty, representatives from the Big Four accounting firms bring industry relevance into our classrooms for selected modules. Everything is designed to equip you with the holistic skillsets to succeed in the fast evolving accounting landscape.  

Our MACC programme is accredited by the Singapore Accountancy Commission (SAC) and Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), and is a stepping stone to the globally recognised Singapore Chartered Accountants (Singapore CA) qualification. Thanks to our close ties with international accounting bodies, such as ICAEW, CPA Australia, ACCA, and CIMA, we can help you to fast-track your professional accountancy journey.

MSc Accountancy With Data Analytics Specialisation 

Technology is rapidly reshaping the finance and accounting landscape. The use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics, together with the automation of routine tasks, has brought significant change to accounting and audit processes, allowing accounting professionals to focus their attention on higher-level work. 

These disruptions to the accounting ecosystem require accounting professionals who are adept at bridging data and accounting to navigate the challenges and the opportunities presented by emerging technologies.

The Data Analytics specialisation in the MSc Accountancy programme will equip you with the skillsets to effectively analyse and interpret complex data sets, knowledgeable in emerging technologies, and able to manage opportunities and risks. 

The MACC programme at Nanyang Business School is the pathway for non-accountancy graduates to join the professional accountancy world and to embark on a career in accounting and finance.

As a graduate of this programme, you can take the Singapore CA Qualification professional exams, paving the way for you to become a Chartered accountant of Singapore.

Not only will you obtain both a global perspective and an Asian focus on business and accounting issues, you will also be highly sought after by the Big 4 accounting firms and others, and will be well positioned to build a successful career in accounting and finance.
