A Message from the Program Director

Our MMPA Program has been designed to prepare graduates

from any undergraduate discipline to face the challenges of being

a leader in professional accounting in the future. Specifically,

we prepare graduates to be:

• Managers with excellent decision-making skills,

• Assurance providers who offer audit and other assurance

services as part of modern accountability processes,

• Consultants to management focusing on strategic positioning

and performance,

• Advisors to individuals, and

• Entrepreneurs.

Tomorrow’s professional accountants will require a new set of

knowledge and skills to function effectively in highly competitive,

globalized business environments. They will need to understand

value-added strategies for organizations and individuals, and be

prepared create, facilitate, measure, and report on the performance

of those strategies, in a world of growing accountability to a

broad range of stakeholders. To succeed, professional accountants

must understand the challenges facing business and the solutions

available, and they must be able to identify, stimulate and

participate in the creation of workable solutions. Success will

depend upon strategically directed activities, effective teamwork,

far-sighted judgement, expertise, and upon the support that can

be developed for personal and organizational goals.

The MMPA Program develops an understanding of how:

• organizations operate,

• individuals manage to create and sustain value,

• information can be used for decision-making by investors,

managers and others,

• a professional accountant can facilitate, account for, and

provide assurance on these decisions and on organizational

activities,

• to engender the support of associates, employees, clients or

customers, providers of funds, and other key stakeholders, and

• to develop a global mindset - appreciate cultural diversity, and

work productively with and lead multi-cultural groups.

The MMPA Program begins by developing an understanding

of the business and professional environment, and follows with

the finer aspects of business and professional expertise. Throughout,

the objective is to provide an understanding of sound frame-

works for creative, strategic and risk management decisions,

a firm grasp of the ethical, human and technical foundations of

business and the accounting profession, and highly developed

communication and interpersonal skills.

We expose bright, talented students to leading-edge lectures,

cases, interdisciplinary integrative experiences, speakers and

co-operative work terms. Our students learn from professors at

Canada’s pre-eminent University, in the business and professional

center of the country, in the company of colleagues who will assume

leadership positions around the world. The majority of our gradu-

ates choose to complete the certification process for Canadian

and American professional accounting bodies. All develop the

vision and capacity necessary for accelerated promotion.

The MMPA Program is proudly one of the professional Masters

programs within the University of Toronto’s Institute for Management

& Innovation. Integrating a graduate education in management

with required professional knowledge and skills in accounting

offers a strong and unique platform for future success.

Uniquely IntegratedMMPA

The MMPA offers an integrated program, combining the best

of a graduate education in management and professional

accounting over five academic terms with two co-operative

work terms in a professional accounting environment.

This ensures that students develop a comprehensive set of

analytical and professional skills.

Management courses provide an excellent grounding

in the fundamental knowledge and skills required to be an

effective manager and leader. In addition, key management

competencies are emphasized, including presentation and

communication skills, team building and group dynamics,

leadership, and motivation.

Accounting courses are designed to complement the

management courses, taking the student well beyond the levels

required for the professional examinations and preparing them

for the leadership positions that will follow. Courses are taught

with a balance of academic and practical perspectives.

Students are expected to communicate clearly in both

written and oral presentations, and execute quantitative

analysis. Group presentations and discussions are an

important part of the learning environment. Many classes

require students to work in study teams, developing their

critical oral and written communication skills within a

group context.

The Program actively engages students in the development

of their minds and mindsets. A multiple intelligences framework

is developed, as is an understanding of a global mindset that

enhances the ability to interact with people of different cultures.

Leadership skills are vital so students are introduced to

the MMPA Leadership Vision and Framework, which are

crystallized and reinforced in Leadership Development

Sessions throughout the Program.

Note: The MMPA degree is governed by the rules and regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. More information may be obtained at www.sgs.utoronto.ca

CollaborationMMPA

An Integrated Approach

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT

The MMPA Program is a member of the Institute for Management

& Innovation (IMI) at the University of Toronto Mississauga.

The strength of the Institute is found in the cross-disciplinary

approach to learning, teaching, and researching management

in a global and collaborative setting. The Institute provides

students with access to professional masters’ programs in

accounting, biotechnology, innovation, and sustainability.

The MMPA Program is proud to be part of the Institute of

Management & Innovation, attracting bright minds and

helping to train tomorrow’s professional accountants and

visionary leaders.

The MMPA Program produces graduates with a unique

combination of technical expertise in the professional

accounting area, core business knowledge, and highly

developed management skills. The philosophy of the

Program is rooted in integrated learning and development

of competencies such as critical thinking, interpersonal skills,

teamwork and leadership. As such, the Program provides

many learning opportunities beyond the classroom lecture.

Courses are often case-based, with students working in

groups to analyze and present complex business scenarios

from numerous perspectives.

Students have the chance to test their new skills in

integrated case competitions and contests including:

FINANCE/FINANCIAL REPORTING COMPETITION

This competition allows students to consider a case from both

the Finance and Financial Reporting perspectives. Students are

given a limited time frame to analyze a business transaction

and prepare a presentation. The presentations are judged by

faculty and external professionals.

ASSURANCE FILE CONTEST

Students plan an assurance engagement in groups. The

top-ranked groups move to a final round of presentations

before a panel of industry experts, including senior managers

and partners from public accounting firms.

KPMG TAX RESEARCH COMPETITION

Complex tax issues are researched by student groups and a written

analysis is submitted for review by faculty and industry experts.

STRATEGY, FINANCE, FINANCIAL REPORTING

INTEGRATED CASE COMPETITION

This competition integrates core material from business and

accounting courses. Students are required to prepare an

industry analysis and value a company focusing on the quality

of earnings of the company as an input to the valuation.

The competition is sponsored by the CPA Rotman Centre

for Innovation in Accounting Education.

There are numerous other integrated learning

opportunities throughout the Program. The case competitions

are judged not only for quality of analysis and critical

thinking, but also on written and oral communication.

Groups are assessed for team dynamics and conflict resolution

during the days leading up to the presentations. As such,

core competencies assessment and feedback is a constant

throughout the duration of the Program.

Value Propositions

UNIQUENESS

The MMPA is the only program of its kind.

A RICH AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY

Our class profile reflects diversity in age, culture, education

and experience. This provides a truly challenging and rich

environment to learn about different cultures and to develop

a global mindset. Given the co-op nature of the program,

prior work experience, though beneficial, is not required.

Students are exposed to the business world during two

four-month work terms.

A GATEWAY FOR NON-BUSINESS

UNDERGRADUATES

In a short 27 months, the MMPA Program provides the

opportunity for an individual with no prior business education

to earn a Master’s degree in management while satisfying

the academic requirements of a professional accounting

designation. MMPA students study core management subjects

plus those necessary for leadership in the professional

accounting, and obtain work experience in a professional

environment.

A TOP UP FOR BUSINESS UNDERGRADUATES

For business undergraduate students, the MMPA degree

adds value by topping up business knowledge with core

management courses and providing a learning environment

for the development of skills such as critical thinking,

communication, leadership and others which are so important

to success within the accounting field today. The unique co-op

program further provides an opportunity to “get a foot in the

door” at major accounting firms. Applicants with a business

undergraduate degree may be eligible for advanced standing.

This could potentially reduce the program length to 24

months, depending upon the number of previous courses

taken and the level of academic standing.

A BRIDGE TO A SECOND CAREER

For applicants who are interested in a second career, the

MMPA provides an efficient means of meeting the academic

requirements for a number of prestigious professional

accounting designations.

Courses are offered on a full-time basis. The Program is

designed so that course availability is never an issue. MMPA

students are assigned to one of four MMPA classrooms so it is

not necessary to move from classroom to classroom or campus

to campus, ensuring students make the most of their time.

OUTSTANDING PLACEMENT RATES

In order to facilitate our record of virtually 100% placement

rates for the co-op work term, the Program arranges a wide

variety of networking events. These events provide students

and recruiters, including Program alumni, the opportunity to

meet and become familiar with each other in a variety of

venues, including our Golf Day, Professional Day, Orientation

Capstone Event, Fall Formal, Career Day and the Distinguished

Speaker Series, as well as number of firm-sponsored

recruiting events.

Advanced Standing

ADVANCED STANDING CONSIDERATIONS

Eligible applicants can apply to enter the Program directly into

the second term (the 24-month stream). Advanced standing is

available to applicants who have completed essentially all of

the required courses in the first academic term, as part of a

four-year undergraduate or graduate degree. Course exemptions

are given only on a term-by-term basis, not on an individual

course basis. Generally, exemption courses must have been

completed no more than five years prior to the date of the

application. However, related work experience may justify

the acceptance of exemption courses older than five years.

ADDITIONAL ADVANCED STANDING POSSIBILITY

Students at the University of Toronto who are completing an

undergraduate accounting specialist degree may be eligible

to apply for a 12-month advanced standing program. Final

approved is expected in the early Fall of 2014, and will be

announced on the MMPA Program website.

ADVANCED STANDING APPLICATION

See our website for more detailed advanced standing

application requirements and procedures.

For the most current information and application instructions, visit mmpa.utoronto.ca

ADVANCED STANDING REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the standard requirements listed in the

Admissions section, advanced standing applicants must

also meet the following requirements:

• A grade of B- or better in each course put forward

for exemption;

• Provide a course outline for each exemption course

that details: course title and code, text and course

materials used, subject areas studied, number of class

hours, instructor’s name and title, and the course

grading scheme; and

• Applicants who cannot provide course outlines must

provide a self-assessment that includes: all of the

information required in a course outline, an explanation

of why course outlines are not available, and the

applicant’s signature verifying that it is a

self-assessment.

Employment Opportunities

M M PA | 1 7

CO-OP WORK TERM PLACEMENT

As part of the degree requirement, MMPA students must

complete two co-op work terms, which run from January to

April in the first and second years of the Program. The work

terms enrich the learning experience by allowing students to

apply material that they have learned during the preceding

academic terms. Students generally choose to work in the

public accounting area or in industry in an accounting or

finance related area. The table, at the top right, shows the

average placement distribution for the past 3 co-op work terms.

For students going on to pursue a Chartered Professional

Accountancy designation, the co-op work terms also fulfull part

of the CPA “articling” requirements as long as the experience

is acceptable to CPA Ontario (either through an Approved

Training Path or through the Experience Verification Path).

Students may work in different areas including assurance, tax,

finance, consulting and other. International students who are

in Canada as visa students must apply to the Government of

Canada for permission to work in Canada.

Students seeking co-op placement are assisted by the

Program and there are numerous networking events leading up

to the interview period. These include Golf Day, Career Day,

and the Distinguished Speaker Series, as well as a number of

firm sponsored recruiting events. These events allow students to

meet with potential employers in a less formal setting prior to

the interview. The placement rates for the co-op work terms are

very high — virtually 100% in the past 19 years.

PERMANENT PLACEMENT

Here again, the MMPA Program has an outstanding placement

track record. Many graduates are retained by their co-op

work term employers. A curriculum that goes beyond pure

academics to create the well-rounded professional has certainly

paid dividends.

A VARIETY OF CAREER OPTIONS

Beginning in 2012, the Canadian accounting profession

underwent a significant unification process with many

provincial and national organizations including the Chartered

Accountants, Certified Management Accountants and Certified

General Accountants merging under a new designation—the

Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation.

The MMPA Program was successful in 2014 in becoming

a CPA Accredited Program. This means that our students

Professional Education Program and then directly on to the

CPA Common Final Exam in the year of graduation.
