CPA Program

In order to provide information about CPA Program for student who are interested in, CPA Australia has created two options: 1) Expression of Interest Form 2) Free Information Session (Friday 30th May 12pm – 1:30pm)

At this time of year we start to get a lot of enquiries from graduating accounting students about the CPA program. These students start to want more concrete information about the program itself. So we’ve created two options to provide this information during the month of May:

1)      Expression of Interest Form

CPA Australia has created an Expression of Interest Form for students who would like specific information about the CPA Program.

2)      Free Information Session

A Free Lunchtime Information Session will be held on Friday 30th May from 12pm – 1:30pm (Lunch Provided) at CPA Office in Perth.

If anyone is interested in more information about these two events, simply send an email to cpa.murdoch@gmail.com and we will forward the form as well as details to you.

What is a CPA?

A Certified Practising Accountant (CPA) is a finance, accounting and business professional with a specific qualification. The CPA designation is a mark of high professional competence. It indicates a soundness in depth, breadth and quality of accountancy knowledge.

The designation is widely regarded by employers and members. It provides members with an internationally recognised postgraduate qualification as well as the opportunity to complete specialist training and continuing professional development (CPD). To use the CPA designation, a member must:

-  complete a degree or a postgraduate award recognised by CPA Australia

-  complete the CPA Program, including three years of professional experience in finance, accounting or business

- undertake CPD activities each year

-  comply to a strict code of conduct set by CPA Australia

To offer public accounting services, CPAs must also complete CPA Australia's Public Practice Program, which involves distance learning and a residential component, and must hold a Public Practice Certificate in accordance with the CPA Australia's by-laws.
