About African Future University

Fully online African digital university with French and English pathways.

Overview

This tuition-free online MSc at African Future University is for revenue officers, IFMIS users, and local-government finance staff who must make digital public finance work when connectivity and identity systems fail. You will study e-filing, TIN integrity, exemptions, and budget execution as administration—not as a substitute for a professional accountancy qualification. English and French assessment options match how many African treasuries still file. Rural taxpayer and small-trader cases are required. The degree does not confer CPA or ACCA. Capstones use anonymised process files, not a claim of auditor-general appointment.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
