Recognition by an Authorised Body

CPA (Australia) declines to recognize a higher education degree until it is able to assess the standard of graduates in practice. However, the degree has been designed in accordance with the academic requirements for CPA (Australia) recognition (see 2.11) in order that graduates hopefully will be eligible for CPA membership. However, the degree meets the requirements of the NIA for associate membership and as such meets the requirements of DIAC for migrants to practise as accountants in Australia.
