Program Requirements
Le certificat d'études supérieures en perfectionnement professionnel de CPA répond aux exigences du programme de formation professionnelle (PFP) requis pour obtenir le titre de comptable professionnel agréé (CPA) au Québec. À la fin du programme, vous serez en mesure de vous présenter à l’examen final commun (EFC) que doivent réussir les candidats au titre de CPA et qui se déroule sur trois jours. Le PFP et l’EFC sont tous deux exigés pour obtenir le titre de CPA et exercer la profession de comptable.
Ce programme à temps partiel est conçu pour les gens qui travaillent. Il comprend une série de cours ainsi que des cours de synthèse intensifs, des apprentissages par cas, du travail d’équipe et des simulations d’examen visant principalement à améliorer la capacité des candidats à utiliser les connaissances, les valeurs, les attitudes et les règles d’éthiques professionnelles auxquelles on s’attend d’un CPA.
Les cours visent à accroître les connaissances en comptabilité, à développer les capacités d’analyse et de pensée critique et à travailler et cheminer professionnellement dans un environnement de plus en plus ambigu. Ils sont à l’image des compétences techniques et habilitantes que les entreprises, les cabinets et les gouvernements exigent des comptables professionnels. Les cours sont donnés par une équipe de CPA expérimentés qui emploient une gamme de techniques et de méthodologies axées sur l’apprenant pour transmettre les connaissances et l’expérience du terrain qu’ils ont acquises en travaillant dans des sociétés internationales de premier plan.
