Becoming a CPA
Candidates who have completed a CPA Australia accredited degree can
apply to become an associate Member and may commence the CPA Program. With CPA Australia’s flexible study options, candidates can choose to complete the CPA Program to their own timeline and with the level of support required to succeed.
The CPA Program comprises four compulsory subjects, two elective subjects
and 36 months of practical experience. Upon completion of the CPA Program, members have the practical and applicable knowledge to join the next generation of accounting, finance and business professionals.
The CPA Program compulsory subjects are:
• Ethics and Governance
• Strategic Management accounting
• Financial Reporting
• Global Strategy and Leadership – the capstone of the CPA Program,
to be undertaken after successful completion of all other compulsory subjects.
By completing all compulsory subjects and two elective subjects offered by CPA Australia, the education component of the CPA Program will be achieved. The elective subjects selected will depend on previous studies and the career path chosen by each individual candidate.
By covering domestic and global business issues, the CPA Program provides the expertise today to create the strategic business leaders of tomorrow. The CPA Program is rigorous, integrating education and experience.
