Graduates may also pursue relevant postgraduate qualifications such as master programmes in financial management, accounting and risk management, or they may undertake professional accountancy qualifications from accountancy bodies including Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
