When it comes to accounting's career assessment agencies, everyone has heard of CPA's name. But in fact, the Australian Immigration Service not only approved the CPA, but also recognized the CA and IPA, so what is the difference between the three families?
The accounting students contacted by the Lisa editor are confused when doing career assessment. Which one should I choose? What's the difference? Today, lisa came to explain in detail ~
First of all, these three institutions are accredited by the Immigration Service accounting professional assessment agencies, and the requirements of career assessment are exactly the same.
Pre-assessment requirements:
- There is one equivalent of an Australian undergraduate degree or a masterdegree that has completed 12 courses.
- Areas where accounting curriculum requirements are completed (seven areas of accounting, eight areas of audit)
- Equivalent to IELTS 4 / 6 (pte 4 / 50)
Full assessment requirements:
- Beyond the satisfaction of points 1 and 2 of the pre-assessment, there should be results equivalent to four seven points of IELTS (PTE four points of 65)
The main difference, then, is the cost and timing of the trial:
Cost:
Then in terms of cost, the cheapest is that CPA, in no hurry to submit EOI, the application for CPA is the most cost-effective. But since CPA has no urgent service, students who need to have an immediate job assessment submitted to EOI may have to consider CA and IPA.
Trial time:
- CPA has no expedited service, the official trial time is 15 working days (but in practice, there is also a week of reasonable results, generally speaking, 1 to 3 weeks);
- If the CA does not rush, the trial time is also 3 weeks, but the rush only takes a week! It's quite powerful. However, we note that the CA expedited service only registered Migrationagent can apply, CA does not accept individual urgent application;
- IPA does not rush the trial time is 2 weeks, if urgent only 2 working days! From now on, IPA's urgent service is the best, but in the actual operation, there have also been more than 2 working days without result, and IPA's urgent service is limited to Australianqualifications, that is to say, overseas education is not able to enjoy the expedited service.
Other differences:
- CPA has immediate access to reference number and receipt, an advantage that applies to students who are in time to start PY classes, especially accounting students who have to submit a career assessment application to attend classes. PY courses are held once a month. Some students come to the consultation time to find that the class will start tomorrow, but they have not done a career assessment can not be taught, this time the CPA is more appropriate! You don't need to get the results right away. It's not a problem to submit an application to receipt, and go to PY right away.
- IPA's review also has expedited services.
- Since the accounting profession has pre-evaluation and full evaluation, each organization provides review services. CPA and CA, however, do not have an urgent review service, and CA will have to reschedule the $650 application fee. At this time the advantage of IPA comes again ~ the ordinary review service charge of IPA is 140, but the urgent review is only 440. For the majority of the studying abroad Party, a dime is also love ~
In addition, the three organizations, CPA,CA,IPA, now approve the results of two career assessments, which means that generalaccountant and externalauditor. can be done at any one of them. So at this point, the advantages of the three families are the same.
To sum up, CPA is the cheapest, CA is the strongest combination of price and speed, IPA is the fastest acceleration!
Although the three organizations appear to be the same, there are special situations, such as the urgent submission of eoi, applications for PY courses, and the desire to do both accounting and auditing career assessments, etc. Selectivity will be different, if you still have any doubts, you can add a compass to emigrate to study on WeChat.
