The Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Accounting is designed specifically for those students who wish to meet the professional educational needs to complete the CPA program of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants (ASCPA).
The Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Accounting requires the completion of eight subjects. It includes up to five subjects taken from the CPA program (required for the purposes of ASCPA qualification for full membership). Each subject is designed to provide educational support and extend the student's knowledge and skills in accounting. It also provides an opportunity to increase an understanding of managerial skills, particularly as they apply to accounting professionals and broaden the skills of accountants in business-related areas.
Applicants require a pass degree with a major in accounting or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution; or a recognised professional accounting qualification; or an equivalent qualification.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult either the Department of Accounting and Finance or the Syme Department of Accounting as to the 1997 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Accounting is normally completed in two semesters of full-time study or four semesters of part-time study.
Teaching will be offered on-campus at either the Clayton or Caulfield campuses, depending on the particular subject.
Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of four credit exemptions for subjects considered to be equivalent to particular subjects in the course of study. Please refer to the relevant course director for further details.
Graduates will meet the academic requirements for admission as a member of the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants.
