A number of professional accounting organizations award certificates in accounting to students who fulfill the required terms of service in the profession and who pass the required examinations. Most organizations also provide courses of study to enable students to prepare for the examinations. Candidates who are considering entering the accounting profession are invited to discuss the matter with members of the Faculty. Calendars and other information from the accounting organizations are available.

Holders of the BBA degree from UNBF will normally be exempt from part of the course of study, and some of the examinations prescribed by the organizations.

A student therefore should consult the provincial organization in the province in which he or she plans to pursue studies. For New Brunswick a student should write to:

See Section 12 for the courses listed under the Certified Management Accounting Stream.
