The course is accredited by the CPA, CA ANZ and ACCA. Students will study a core of units covering specialization for CPA/ CA professional requirements.

encourage and assist indigenous students to enrol into studies; or
provide access to the educationally or socially disadvantaged; or
address the under-representation of designated groups.
Articulation Arrangements and RPL
Students who have completed a diploma or advanced diploma or equivalent course in another approved institution may transfer into this degree. The amount of credit transfer or recognition of prior learning will be assessed for each individual student.
English Language Requirements
The medium of instruction in the Academy is English. All students are therefore required to demonstrate a minimum level of proficiency in the English language to qualify for admission.
The following criteria apply:
Students from Australian local institutions must have completed a Higher School Certificate or equivalent from overseas.

Students who do not meet the minimum English Language requirement may be permitted to enrol after successful completion of an appropriate English for Academic Purposes program accredited by NEAS and approved by the Academy.
When an IELTS score or equivalent is used to demonstrate English proficiency, that score must have been attained within two years of the date of application for admission.
