Effective 8 March 2024, the Accountants (Public Accountants) Rules has been amended to recognise the Certified Practising Accountant (CPA) Program of CPA Australia as one of the accountancy qualification programmes that meets the professional examination requirement for PA registration. Individuals who have passed the CPA Program on or after 1 January 2019 can now apply for PA registration. This follows the reciprocal agreement between the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) and CPA Australia to mutually recognise the chartered accountancy qualifications of both bodies.
The changes are set out in the Accountants Act 2004 - Accountants (Public Accountants) (Amendment) Rules 2024.
For updated PA registration requirements from 8 March 2024, please refer to “Professionalrequirements for registration as Public Accountants”.
