You. Cpa Australia need not be ato. But if accredits is easier. They got a list of accredited org. So if not must fill in log book n all those. Quite mafan.

CPA Australia.

Yup, you can do concurrently and mentor must have a CPA. CPA SG or CPA Australia will do fine.

Just wondering, do you mind to share what is your current job/qualification? Also what is your intention with the CPA? So it will be easier for us to comment.

thnx for the confirmation. currently an accounts executive in a sme, have a bachelor in acc from rmit. intention is to have a higher qualification to look for a better job

Why not choing for CPA SG & 'auto cross over' to grandfather CA SG? CPA Australia does not really help you much in SG & not to mention promotion. Your degree can already help you go for higher position in MNC too.
