The Master of Science in Accounting and Finance (MSAC) programme holds significant importance in the global context, as finance and accounting play pivotal roles in driving economic growth and enabling effective decision-making within organizations. As the global economy faces increasing complexities and challenges, the demand for highly trained professionals in accounting and finance becomes crucial to address emerging trends and contribute to sustainable financial practices (Venter, Gordon, Street, 2018). In Sub-Saharan Africa, a region characterized by a diverse economic landscape and growing opportunities, the demand for skilled accounting and finance professionals is even more critical. The MSAC programme aims to cater for this demand by providing specialized training that aligns with the unique financial needs and regulatory environments of Sub-Saharan African countries. By equipping students with a deep understanding of local financial markets, taxation laws, and financial reporting standards, the programme enables them to excel in their roles and contribute to economic development and financial stability in the region. In addition, finance and accounting professionals in Africa also need to acquire/improve skills in relatively new concept areas, including climate change and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosure requirements. Even in more traditional roles, it is believed that the professionals could benefit some more from well-targeted capacity building interventions. And the same can be said of the public sector, where the insufficiency or absence of capacity has stalled important public financial management reforms – including the adoption of international standards (ACCA, 2022).
