The School of Commerce (SoC) of Faridabad-based Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies (MRIIRS) has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Grant Thornton Bharat, a leading consulting firm, to integrate the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) qualification into its 2-year Master of Commerce (M.Com) program. The new integrated program spans various critical accounting domains, including financial reporting, auditing, corporate governance, and US taxation.
