Important changes to the Chartered Accountants Program from 2013

LONELYMELBOURNE

Following two years of extensive planning and consultation, the Institute is delighted to announce that a new world‐class Chartered Accountants Program will be introduced from 2013, which will be delivered jointly with the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.

As one of our mentors, your contribution will continue to play an integral role in helping candidates develop and apply their skills in the workplace. The following information is provided to ensure you understand the changes and how candidates will transition through the Program.

What will change?
During the consultation process, members told us candidates needed greater access and flexibility to balance their work and study commitments, while still maintaining the quality and rigour of the current Program. That’s why the new Program will move to a more flexible, modern blend of face-to‐face and online learning. Using a new sophisticated Online Learning Space, candidates will have greater access to their learning resources and experience more interactive activities, enabling them to access their learning material from anywhere, at any time during the module.

Greater flexibility will also be embedded into the four technical modules, with the current focus session format to be replaced with new optional face‐to‐face and virtual classrooms. Meanwhile, the emphasis on face‐to‐face learning will shift into a new Capstone, which will replace the current Ethics & Business Application (EBA) module.

This Capstone will be offered from 2014 and requires candidates to attend three mandatory workshops. The workshops will focus on real company case studies, the application of technical knowledge and the development of professional skills and competencies relevant to the workplace, including practical team work, and communication and presentation skills.

What candidates need to do?
To help ensure candidates have ample time to plan, they should refer to the Transitional Schedule and 2013-15 Timetable, to identify their pathway for completing the Program and entry to membership. To help understand the changes, please refer to the Comparison Chart which outlines the key differences between the current and new Programs.

To ensure the transition is a seamless process, candidates will have the opportunity to enrol in the current technical modules until the end of 2012. In addition, the EBA module will be offered twice in 2013. Candidates will then need to undertake the equivalent new modules as outlined in the Transitional Schedule.
