How much accounting knowledge are needed for fresh graduate to join corporate finance.

Hello everyone, I am Ming Chiat, and I am from University Utara Malaysia. I have interested in joining corporate finance, and I am studying finance, since I am studying finance, therefore, the accounting knowledge that was being taught in class is significantly lesser, but I still like to learn it myself. So I have a question  to ask regarding the preparation of accounting knowledge; based on the course outline, if I study until FAR 2 is that sufficient? or should I venture to FAR3? The course outline has been attached. Finally, Thank you very much for your time and effort in answering my question.
