Default ACCA Accountant

Hi all,

I am an ACCA financial/management accountant looking to emigrate to Aus'. Does anybody know if the ACCA is recognised in companies in the major places Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne & Adelaide?

I am a bit worried as I just keep seeing 'CA/CPA' in job adheres.


Many thanks
Dave

Hey mate I was going to mention this to you on the other posts.

A CA is a post graduate qualification here in Aus. It's higher than a CPA. ACCA in general are NOT recognized but to be brutally honest without a CA you've got no hope I'm afraid. It's pretty much a pre requisite to be an accountant in this country to be chartied and even so you'll be up against many people who will have a CA.

In the UK you can find work on your experience in Aus like America or Canada you need experience on top of rock hard qualifications.

If you are an ACCA Member like i am an FCCA , CPA asks you to appear for three papers... they are very easy the subjects we have already studied in ACCA and you can get a CPA qualification.

So keep your hopes high... with a little effort , you can attain the same.

That is a killer! So sitting 14 exams in the UK just isn't enough!
