Is ACCA equivalent to CPA (Australia)
Just wanted to know if the ACCA and CPA were comparable and does ACCA membership give direct membership of CPA (barring Austalian Tax and Law additions).
The ACCA have said Part 2 is equivalent of a UK Bachelors degree and part 3 is the same level as a Masters. Is this enough for CPA membership? Also is ACCA recognised in the workplace or only CPA? Cheers Mark |

http://www.cpaaustralia.com.au Look under the "Admission and Education" tab at the top. It's all explained in that section.

PNA is not nearly as well recognised as CA/CPA but this will probably change over the next 10-15 years. In the meantime, ACCA is recognised to get PNA status. http://www.nia.org.au |

Thanks for the info - partic. on the PNA as I had not thought of that route.
Unfortunately it looks like more studying is required. |
