Migration and the Accounting Profession in Australia
Bob Birrell and Virgina Rapson, Centre for Population and Urban Research, Monash University [for CPA Australia], May 2005
This report examines the sources of growth in Australia’s accounting workforce. It focuses on the ways in which changes to Australia’s skilled migration selection system have affected the migration component of this growth. The importance of the immigration component has been magnified in recent years because domestic training in accounting has stabilised. Since 2001 almost all of the growth in the training of accountants at the university level in Australia has occurred amongst overseas-student enrolments.
