ISCA programme speeds the path to Chartered Accountant certification

Selected Autonomous Universities will offer the programme.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has introduced an Accelerated Pathway Programme (APP) that enables accountancy students to fast-track their certification as Chartered Accountants (CA) of Singapore.

The APP will run for two years, starting April 2024, enabling eligible students to take the Singapore CA Qualification (SCAQ) exams alongside their accountancy studies. Passing the SCAQ will allow students to qualify as Chartered Accountants.

The following Autonomous Universities will offer the APP:

• Nanyang Technological University
• National University of Singapore
• Singapore Management University
• Singapore University of Social Sciences
• Singapore Institute of Technology

The initiative is part of ISCA’s efforts to address the talent shortage. The ISCA will also provide its students with support, such as complimentary revision classes.

KPMG welcomed the initiative, saying the programme is a "strategic move in driving quality, scale and speed in nurturing talent for the profession and the wider business

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
