CPA Australia and CIMA, both full members of IFAC, share common and strong interests in the advancement of the accountancy profession.

  • Recognition of their respective members’ prior qualifications.

As of 1 January 2017 the existing MRA is replaced by the new Member Pathway Agreement (MPA) and there will be additional study requirements.
