New Opportunity For Nz Accountants to Join CPA Australia
Members of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) can now join CPA Australia without incurring
member fees until January 2015.
CPA Australia chief executive, Alex Malley, said this offer would enable qualifying accountants to join more than
144,000 professionals in 127 countries around the world.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for existing members of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) to
join CPA Australia without incurring member fees until January 2015.
“CPA Australia is of one of the world’s largest accounting bodies, offering a designation with global relevance and
reach combined with strong, local advocacy, education and training.
“CPA Australia first established an office in New Zealand eight years ago and since that time has worked closely with
the profession and Government to the advantage of our members.
“CPA Australia is recognised as an Approved Adviser Group with the Inland Revenue Department and we are accredited by
the Financial Markets Authority under the Auditor Regulation Act 2011 in respect of auditor licensing and regulation in
New Zealand for auditors of issuers.
“Recognising our increasingly important role in public advocacy and leadership in the continuous improvement of
standards for the profession, our New Zealand membership has grown by around 20 per cent in the last five years.
“The offer we’ve opened today is part of our continuing commitment to New Zealand, designed to consolidate our critical
mass in the Asia-Pacific and continue our proud record of growth throughout our 127 year history.”
Mr Malley said in addition to a host of online resources available to help members of the profession make an informed
decision to join CPA Australia, information sessions would also be held in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and
Hamilton over the next few weeks.
“I’d encourage any member of NZICA considering their options at present to secure a designation with global relevance
and reach to logon to cpaaustralia.com.au/nzoffer or attend one of our information sessions.”
