CPA Australia Membership Pathway for Nepalese

Last week I reached out to CPA Australia to know more about how CPA Pathway agreement works for Nepalese Chartered Accountants having membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal. There are a few steps we need to follow to know so that CPA Australia can help us out.




I am copying the mail ditto for your reference:

Thank you for your email regarding Pathway agreement with Nepalese Chartered Accountants

It is great to hear that you are looking to take the next step on your career path by obtaining your CPA designation. We would be happy to support you on your journey.

I am happy to inform you that there is indeed such an agreement.

There are two pathways:

 1. Applicants who have completed ICAN CAPIII (examinations) are required to complete:

-          Ethics and Governance

Note: Applicants DO NOT have to be a full or provisional member of ICAN to be eligible for this pathway.

However they MUST hold a 4 year comparable degree or at least five years of senior relative experience which is current.

To begin your journey, we recommend you apply online via our website.  With your membership application.  you will be requested to provide:

  5. Certified true copy of an original letter of good standing from ICAN, which confirms your current membership status, the date you joined as a member, the date your membership fees are paid until, that you have completed the required professional program and have not obtained your membership through mutual recognition with another professional body.
If additional information is required you will be contacted via email.

Your assessment will take approximately 10 working days from the date that CPA Australia receives all requested supporting documentation. Once completed, you will receive your assessment result via email, which will outline your path to achieve the CPA designation.

I hope the above answers your enquiry and looking forward to hear from you soon.
