    About

    This one-year advanced qualification aims to develop internationally focused graduates who require specialised skills and knowledge in accounting, to help sit their CPA Australia exams.

    When you study this course, you will be offered tuition for subjects in the CPA Program offered by CPA Australia. You will be required to sit all CPA Program exams administered by CPA Australia and meet all CPA Australias program requirements. You will be responsible for all fees, including subject exam fees.

    You will further enhance your abilities in areas including financial accounting, managerial accounting, governance and auditing. This course will help you provide high-level advice to management and governing bodies, and undertake senior positions in the workplace.
