Program overview
You can never know what’s around the corner, but with the right preparation, you can be ready for it. The CPA Program allows you to safeguard your career with the backing of a world-renowned designation and a network of industry experts. The CPA Program combines internationally relevant subject content with cutting-edge resources, to ensure you are equipped to succeed – both in your current role and into the future.
The CPA Program scholarship entitles recipients to an exemption from the CPA Program subject fees. The award covers subject enrolment fees starting from the date awarded.
To complete the CPA Program, you’ll need to complete six subjects: four compulsory and two elective subjects*. The four compulsory subjects are Ethics and Governance, Strategic Management Accounting, Financial Reporting, Global Strategy and Leadership.
* If you’ve already completed recognised studies in tax and auditing, you’re free to choose any elective. However, if you haven’t completed recognised studies in tax and audit this will be a compulsory subject in your CPA program and you must sit Australia Taxation, and/or Advanced Audit and Assurance.
The CPA Program subject is delivered over a single semester – or half a year – with an exam at the end.
Who should apply
Managers and finance/accounting professionals of registered charitable not-for-profit organisations Australia-wide.
