ACC690 is a general course code that encompasses all types of courses such as Audit Data Analytics, Tax for CFO, Finance, Innovation...etc. I had ACC690L (Leadership) with D'Arcy. This was honestly a great course that helps you with your enabling competencies for CPA. D'Arcy made the lecturers interesting by integrating multiple stories, his industry experiences, case simulations and various activities for us to discover our leadership capabilities. This course wasn't difficult either and was the only course that people looked forward to every week because of how fun and unique it is.

ACC690 - Special Topics: Tax for CFO was incredibly useful and practical. We spent much of the course learning how to calculate a tax provision, which is a part of any company's books and will make you cry if you have to face one without any prior education. The remainder of the course covered other special topics (eg. CCPC, Remuneration, SR&ED, etc.)
