It's like getting a specialisation from at a Royal College after doing your medical degree. You're pretty much nothing if you don't do a CPA or CA.

[costargh]

If you do your CA you're guarenteed a salary of over 200k a year in one of the big 4 firms

not

[u]What is a Chartered Accountant?[/u]

Accounting is the language of business. The discipline of measuring, interpreting and communicating financial activity.
Chartered Accountants are accountants who have successfully completed the Chartered Accountants Program (comprised of the Graduate Diploma of Chartered Accounting and three years of mentored professional work experience). They hold the highest professional qualification available to accountants in Australia.

What do they do?

Chartered Accountants work in commerce (40 per cent), public practice (40 per cent), government and academia. They include the chief financial officers of Australia's Top 500 companies, and the Chartered Accountants auditing all of the top 100 ASX companies.

Chartered Accountants bring their analytic expertise to fields as diverse as strategic planning, market analysis, compliance, change management and the use of information technology.

Never Certain but you have a higher chance. Besides when you get out of uni most big firms (big4) won't take you unless you undertake a CPA or CA program. Big firms usually prefer CA I think. (CA is recognised worldwide. CPA only in a few countries)

CA is like a master except i think its cosidered more than a masters. Like CA > Masters of Accounting.

[AppleXY]

LOL. what. What's the point though, i'll be working in a investment bank (PLSPLSPLSPLSS) lol. I thought you can the FCA like you get the FIAA (just studying). We'll see anyways.


@Brendan, I know . Meh, what can you do

[costargh]

CA is like a master except i think its cosidered more than a masters. Like CA > Masters of Accounting.

Not true. Doing CA gives you a GradDiploma. You can gain credit from this study if you want to get a masters in accounting. In terms of prestige a masters should be more prestigious.

Masters>GradDip

However, in terms of what employers want, I'm not sure whether  they'd still want you to do CA if you'd already done Masters. Really not too sure.
