    Hi,

    I was considering signing up in the July intake,as I'm expecting to reach ACCA affiliate status next Monday. I have seen accountancyschool.ie are running a course starting from 7/1/19 covering both modules

    1. Global Issues for the Finance Professional (GIFP) [PAM100]
    2. Strategic Financial Project (SFP) [PAM006]

    I was wondering if anyone has signed up or has any advice about whether it is worth doing this integrated masters.It seems pretty good value at approx €5k total for a masters in 6-12 months from no.7 ranked university in the world.

    Any opinions/advice/feedback greatly appreciated.

    Remarkably cheap compared to others. What does the project entail?

    In fairness to ACCA they've been very proactive in teaming up with universities.

    Global Issues for the Finance Professional


    This provides insights into how finance and accounting is evolving in today’s unpredictable global enviroment. It will give you the skills to think critically and creatively in selecting alternative solutions and solving complex problems. The module addresses topical issues such as the valuation of intangibles; the impact of the Basel Accords on financial risk management practices; global mergers and acquisitions; financial reporting and accounting standards; and selected topical issues in sustainability, including tax avoidance.

    Assessment: This module is assessed by coursework and a project.


    Strategic Financial Project


    This is a Mandatory capstone module which represents an oppurtunity to challenge yourself to demonstrate independent academic research skills and apply them in a professional context. You will present an analysis of, and recommend potential solutions to, an accounting/finance-related business issue. As a result of this process you will develop a critical self-awareness which will increase your personal effectiveness in a buisness context.

    Assesment: This module is assesed by coursework and a project.

    The strategic financial project includes an innovative and collaborative business simulation in which you manage a buisness project with other students in small groups. Develop your accountancy skills and broaden your horizons through collaboration, preparing yourself for a range of career options.
