Should I continue my CPA Australia studies ?

[Shiori]

Can consider. As for cpa and ca part sure got some edmwers can help?

dont dare ask edmwers...

[Shiori]

I got many things to ask leh.

Feel like god forsaken me liao

so far any results ?

[Shiori]

See yr age lo.

Having cpa but not having the age and relevant experience, people also look at u with doubt.

Cpa I presume certified public accountant right? Can sign off bs financial statement one right.

My ex colleague is fc using his cpa qualifications. But cannot promote further to be bc, sianz cos not enough relevant experiences.

I dunno anything about studying thou.

But think cpa without relevant working experience and age, I will still doubt u alot. Cos last I had those McKinsey clown come got 1 fella non stop talking about improving business practices for our agong but his cpa title put big big name card. Knn i kana swan have to put my psle title btc aka bo tak cheh

Anyways fc not big title in my line.
Bc is bigger than fc. But below gm

I have completed 3 modules, left 3 more to go.

However, I am having some issues trying to fulfill the 3-year practical working experience requirement.

Last year, I contacted CPA Australia and they provided me with a solution: I do not need my actual exact supervisor who is a CA/CPA to sign off my working experience. Meaning to say, any CA/CPA can sign off for me as long as they are satisfied with my working experience. (iirc, ACCA also allows this but not CA SG).

Recently, I managed to get in touch with an ex-manager who we worked for few months only and he was ok to sign for that few months. Better than nothing.

Currently I am still left with around 30 months of experience that needs to get signed off but I am running short of people to ask. In general, most of them that I asked are not willing or comfortable to sign.

My current workplace, during the interview they said they can support and sign off for me. But it turns out none of them are qualified to do so as they are neither CA nor CPA. This issue has been one of the stronger reasons why I want to change job.

Given that $ has been invested into this, I dont want to see the $ go down the drain. However, I am also stuck with a requirement which I struggle to fulfill.

Besides, from time to time I do think about if I want to continue this accounting field as well.

Based on the time frame, latest by May 2027 I have to complete the entire CPA programme.

What would you do if you were me ?

If u thk accounting field is good career for u , go work elsewhere . Endure for x months and have the seniors there certify u.
Ppl help those / support those they know n like .. usually need 1/2-2 yr for ppl to know yr work qualify

If really don't think ppl rs n cpa is what u want
N accounting also u don't want
Can stop n use the modules for exemption go for university degree in accountancy? If u like
