Graduate School Building

Program Description

  The Graduate School of Accountancy, established in April, 2006, principally educates students who desire to acquire the knowledge and skills essential to become Certified Public Accountants (CPA) able to work effectively in a global market.

  Students completing the course of study will be awarded the MBA in Accountancy degree, and will also be exempted from the multiple-choice test on the CPA examination, by obtaining the required credits and by applying for the exemption to the CPAAOB.

  As a result of the international convergence of accounting education levels, and in the process of reforming Japan's CPA system along with this convergence, the CPAs become required to be professionals rather than technicians on a basis of a public expectation. In order to meet this expectation, our accounting school targets to produce "real" professional accountants with the highest professional ethics and a sound ability to reason. In addition, our school has a policy to enroll students with varied potential in areas or fields including commerce, business administration, engineering, literature, etc. in order to turn out many competent professionals for various works.

Mission

  The pillar of the Graduate School of Accountancy of Kansai University is to bring theoretical knowledge into practical use, i.e., to produce CPAs with sufficient professional knowledge and skills in accounting, and to enable each student to exhibit a competitive leadership in a global market. Concretely, our ultimate mission is to bring along CPAs who can become leaders in the fileds of auditing/assurance, not only in the auditing/assurance, field, but also in (1) finance, (2) IT, (3) law (4) business administration, and (5)public administration.
