Overseas trained accountants

Assessment of overseas qualifications

Non-Australian academic qualifications are assessed by the Australian professional accounting bodies according to the guidelines of the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR). Assessment of overseas qualifications and notification of required study is the responsibility of the relevant professional body, not USQ.

Where a qualification is assessed as comparable to an Australian bachelor degree, the professional body will advise the applicant which additional course areas are required to be studied and passed in order to gain membership. These additional courses must be studied at an accredited Australian university.

Candidates whose academic qualifications are assessed as not equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree are required to complete a degree recognised by Australian accounting professional bodies.

Students with overseas degree qualifications in Commerce, Business or Accounting who are seeking conversion of overseas accounting qualifications can study single courses to meet CPA Australia and ICAA requirements.
