Completing an accredited undergraduate degree
To become a member of CPA Australia the simplest pathway is to complete an undergraduate degree accredited by CPA Australia.
To be eligible, subjects must be completed in accounting, finance and business areas to satisfy the minimum core knowledge. This can be done through a major in accounting, a double-major including accounting or a double degree.
Graduates who did not study accounting can qualify by completing an accredited postgraduate program.
Further information, including a course search of accredited programs, can be accessed through the CPA Careers website:
