hello everyone, i got a reply from CPAA customer service (such a relief!):
"Thank you for your email. I am happy to assist you with your enquiry.
The recent Australian Financial Review article claiming that the NSW Government is threatening to deregister CPA Australia is false. The NSW Government has no authority to deregister the company, CPA Australia Limited. The issues mentioned in the article will not impact on the recognition of CPA Australia’s professional and practising designations.
CPA Australia is actively liaising with the Australian media to correct the misinformation that was published.
We will continue to accept CPA Program enrolments, which will open next Monday, 19 June. You can enrol via My CPA Program and also schedule your exam appointment online. You will have access to a full soft copy of the study guide on My Online Learning (MYOL) upon successful enrolment from the enrolment open date (with the exception of the Singapore Tax and Advanced Taxation subjects) and a hard copy will also be delivered to your preferred mailing address.
I hope the information is useful to you.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us again.
Kind regards
Cassandra Wong | Senior Member Services Manager
