Re: 2017 CPA Report
Never mind the fact that Australia is awash with accountants with applicants outnumbering vacancies by a factor of 36.8 to 1 Got a source for that statistic? Not questioning it, just want to have a further look. https://docs.jobs.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/ausaccountants_1.pdf Since 2009, there ...

Re: 28 Mar 2018 - CPA Aust complimentary CPD offer?
Lame. All they have done is formalise the assessment for stuff that was already available and free. And there's still much better webinars etc. being offered by for-profit companies for free.
