With effect from 29 June 2021, the Accountants (Public Accountants) Rules will be amended to recognise the Chartered Accountants Program (CA Program) of the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) as one of the accountancy qualification programmes that meets the professional examination requirement for PA registration. The amendment will allow individuals who have passed the CA Program on or after 1 January 2019 to apply for registration as a PA. This follows the reciprocal agreement entered into between the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) and CAANZ to mutually recognise the chartered accountancy qualifications of both bodies.
The changes are set out in the Accountants (Public Accountants) (Amendment No. 2) Rules 2021. The changes will take effect from 29 June 2021.
Please refer to “Professional requirements for registration as Public Accountants” for details on the updated registration requirements on or after 29 June 2021.
