Our program is recognised internationally, meaning you’ll be well equipped to tackle any accounting, finance or business challenges in today’s global marketplace. The CPA Program focuses on more than just technical accounting, teaching you to go beyond the numbers and master the skills you need to reach the next level in leadership, strategy and business.
Hear from our members in Australia and around the world about their experiences studying the CPA Program and applying the learnings and ongoing professional support in their careers.
"I decided to study the CPA Program because it opens up so many doors. It gives you not only the technical accounting skills, but also gives you so much knowledge in strategy and leadership."
"I was able to balance my work and other priorities with my studies at the same time and push through at a rate that suited me."
