    For cpa, you need to take 6 subjects and 3 years mentoring requirement before you achieve CPA status. Di pa kasama yung bridging subjects nun to be assessed as equivalent to bachelors degree in oz.

    Hi @stonehenge, how are you with regard to your plan to be a CPA/CA in Australia?

    Eto yung kinakatakutan ni misis eh, most of the jobs are looking for such qualification.

    Have you entered Australia na? Which state kayo? I reckon Sydney noh?

    May edge talaga iyong CPA/CA dito especially if you want to be a senior manager. Pero swertehan din sa paghanap work, kung may skillset naman na ma-offer kahit di CPA/CA matanggap pa din sa work. Ang mas hurdlepagdating dito ay iyong mga nahanap ng local work experience.

    4yrs na'ko dito, hindi ako CPA/CA, sa ASX50 company ako work & til now tinatamad pa rin akong mag-aral

    Go for CPA route its easier and its open book exam. Pero parang 2 subjects lang ang pwede i take every year. May ilan ilang akong officemates sa dati kong firm nag take ng CPA australia, nakaka 2-3 subjects na yata sila ang getting high distinctions. Dito pa sila sa Singapore ang wala pa balak mag Oz.

    Pero if you plan to work audit firms, parang mas valuable ang CA, mas recognise din yata sya and mas mahirap. ACCA is a UK based certifications, medyo mas mahirap daw sa CPA australia
