The aim of the 30-Week Work-Study Programme (WSDeg) with ATOs is to equip our students with extended experiential learning and industry exposure to develop the skills, attitudes and behaviours to be a Chartered Accountant of Singapore.

The International Federation of Accountants’ (IFAC) International Education Standard (IES) 5 states, “Practical experience, gained by performing the work of professional accountants, in addition to the acquisition of knowledge through professional accounting education programs, is considered necessary before candidates can present themselves to the public as professional accountants.”

The CA (Singapore) qualification is the national accountancy qualification that is globally recognised and portable.
