AUSTRALIAN ACCOUNTING BODIES

B01. As noted in chapter 3, Australia’s accounting bodies have developed comprehensive requirements for entry to membership, the supervision of members and the disciplining of members which apply to all members of the bodies, including those who are RCAs. As many of these requirements exceed the legislative requirements and ASC procedures for the registration and supervision of company auditors, the Working Party believes that the following overview of the requirements of the accounting bodies will be of assistance to readers when they are considering the Working Party proposals.
