At the request of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, the
Department of Accounting and Finance developed a graduate diploma which serves
as a conversion course for those without tertiary qualifications in accounting.
Students enrolling in the course are not required to be employed by a firm of
chartered accountants.
Applicants for the course must have qualified for a pass degree or an
equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution. Candidates may
be eligible for a maximum of six credit exemptions for subjects considered to
be equivalent to particular requirements in the course of study. Refer to the
course director for further details.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should refer to the Department of
Accounting and Finance as to the 2001 course fee. Course fees are set and
reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
This course enables graduates who have completed degrees in disciplines other
than accounting to become academically qualified to enter the Professional Year
program of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the CPA
program of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants.
Students who attain the required standard may be permitted to transfer to the
Master of Professional Accounting.
The course consists of the following 12 core subjects:
