Empowering difference makers

The CA Program can equip you with the skills and confidence to solve complex business challenges effectively, ethically, and creatively. Chartered Accountants develop unique perspectives alongside exceptional technical expertise that can empower them to drive business decisions to help create better societies, communities and economies.

What does the CA Program involve?

The CA Program is structured in two parts: the Graduate Diploma of Chartered Accounting (GradDipCA) – made up of five course modules – and three years of mentored practical experience.* Course modules include taxation, audit and assurance, financial accounting and reporting, and management accounting and applied finance. The CA Program concludes with the capstone module that brings together your technical and soft skills, and applies your cumulative knowledge combined with practical experience to develop solutions to complex business problems

*Course entry requirements, including assumed knowledge apply to the CA Program. International opportunities may require additional training in some countries and be subject to country-specific visa requirements and other restrictions.

Global mobility and influential network

The CA Program could be your passport to an international career. Members of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand broaden their professional communities through connections with:

• Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW) which brings together members of 14 chartered accounting institutes to promote the CA designation and create a community of over 1.8 million Chartered Accountants and students in more than 190 countries.
• The Global Accounting Alliance (GAA), with over 1 million members, is a leading international accounting community of practice. As part of the GAA you’ll join the discussion on the latest trends and opportunities, network with business leaders, and receive professional support from other GAA member bodies. This recognition, along with the internationally recognised Graduate Diploma of Chartered Accounting (GradDipCA) gained on completion of The CA Program, can provide you with the opportunity to work in exciting environments across the world – wherever you want to make an impact.*
