Why Should a CA from India Enroll in the CPA Australia Program?
A Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in India (ICAI) allows certified CAs to get the following advantages:
- Write just two exams for the CPA Program.
- After registering as an Associate Member, this additional international qualification can be achieved in two years and is recognized globally.
Exemptions from MoU/MRA Applicable To Indian CA With ICAI
Eligible ICAI members must successfully finish the CPA Program subject Global Strategy and Leadership & Online study unit Better Practice in Governance and Accountability within two years of joining the organization in order to receive the CPA designation.
Subject: Global Strategy and Leadership in the CPA Program. The course is offered semester-by-semester, and enrollment through My CPA Program is required.
After studying the material, participants in the online study unit Better Practice in Governance and Accountability must pass an online multiple-choice exam to finish it. The candidate may finish this whenever and at their own speed. There are forty multiple-choice questions in the evaluation, and a 75% passing score is required. There are three opportunities to try. The product will expire if the assessment is not finished within twelve (12) months of the purchase. Following unit completion, the candidate will receive 12 CPD hours.
