History

MBS was founded in 1989 to provide training for professional accountants pursuing awards of various professional bodies, including the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply.[2] Later, when the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU) was established, MBS trained accountants for those examinations as well. According to the MBS Principal, approximately 60 percent of Uganda's professional accountants have received some training from the school.[2] In 2013, the school received accreditation to offer certificate and diplomas in certain business disciplines.[5] In 2016, the institution was licensed to offer degrees as well.[2] As of December 2011, the school had a student population in excess of 1,600 in 13 locations across Uganda.[3]
