The programme syllabus is closely based on the CAP2 syllabus of Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI). Therefore, significant exemptions from the CAI examinations are available. Graduates of the MAcc are granted full exemption from CAI's CAP2 examinations, provided that they have full exemption from CAI's CAP1 examinations before taking the MAcc.
MAcc graduates' success in recent professional examinations
Our graduates consistently achieve very high places in the Final Admitting Examination of Chartered Accountants Ireland and in the final examination of the Irish Tax Institute (AITI). In the recent professional exams, our graduates Aisling Curtin and Sarah Finnegan obtained second and third place respectively in CAI's Final Admitting Examination and Nora Cosgrove was placed second in the final examinations of the Irish Taxation Institute.
