SECTION 4: ACCREDITATION PROCESS
New program eligibility check
We encourage higher education providers to use the diagram below to complete an initial assessment of the accounting program they would like accredited to check eligibility before submitting an application to the Professional Bodies.
Start
Higher Education Provider interested in having a program accredited by the Professional Bodies
Step 1
Review the Accreditation Guidelines.
Step 2
"At a glance" eligibility check
- Is the program accredited by TEQSA or NZQA?
- Is the higher education provider registered with TEQSA or NZQA?
- Does the program cover all the required competency areas listed in the accreditation guidelines
Step 3
If the provider answered No to any of the 3 questions in Step 2 then this would indicate the program is not yet ready to be considered for accreditation by the Professional Bodies.
Enquires about these minimum criteria can be lodged via accreditation@cpaaustralia.com.au or accreditation@charteredaccountantsanz.com
If the provider answered Yes to all 3 of the questions in step 2, then the provider would be encouraged to continue with the application for program accreditation with the Professional Bodies in Step 4.
