The program offers tailored content that provides pathways to the designation and sets international students up for success as they pursue their accounting careers in Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Goodman School of Business continues to strengthen relationships with CPA Ontario, as well as other\u00a0partners in our community,\u201d said Dean Andrew Gaudes. \u201cThis expansion of our existing accreditation is yet another example of our ongoing commitment to provide students from around the world access to the highest standard of business education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brock President Gervan Fearon, a CPA himself, said the designation is evidence of the \u201coutstanding accounting and business education,\u201d available at the University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis expanded accreditation from CPA Ontario is a key step forward for the Goodman School of Business and the programs it offers,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a University, we\u2019re committed to providing professional and innovative academic programming that sets our students up for success in their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The expansion of the CPA accreditation to the MPAcc program followed a rigorous review process to ensure the educational components will meet the requirements of the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP).
