Accountancy grads who want to be chartered can fund their course via FEE HELP – but only if they study with a particular professional body

And pleased indeed is Chartered Accountants ANZ, which says it is good news for accountants, who have to pay full-fees to qualify and for SME practices which “now can attract and retain talent as part of their employee proposition.”

And it is surely good news for CAANZ (formerly the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia,) which is not alone in the accounting industry representation space.

The win builds on its 2021 upgrade by regulator TEQSA, which moved it up from HE provider to an institute of HE. To qualify as an institute, staff must be “active in scholarship that informs  teaching, and active in research when engaged in research student supervision.”
