Hi,

I am looking to be accepted to work as a secondary school teacher in WA.

I would like, over time, to be able to take on some management responsibility (in the area of bookkeeping, accounting and finance), within a school.

How would I go about acquiring the relevant regulatory finance qualifications in order to be suitable for such extra management responsibilities?

Any advice would be very much appreciated as I have no idea how a schools finances are managed in Oz.

Kind Regards,

Gary

Except for certain regulated areas, such as tax advice to the public and company auditing, there is no legal requirement in Australia to have an accounting qualification in order to work in accounting/finance.

Many employers do demand such qualifications, however.

I would have thought it would be unusual for a teacher to take on clerical work such as book-keeping, except perhaps in a small school.
