ICB Q & A Space

A collaborative Q & A space so that each of us can help each other.

We are very conscious that there are a number of forums around - this isn't just another one and needs to be beneficial.  

It isn't a replacement for software support although a bit of that is OK.

HOW TO USE

Under each of the major categories ie "Bookkeeping things",  We have established "Categories"  such as "All things bookkeeping...ask away" & "Software related"

If you click on the above category headings you see each TOPIC that has been created by Q & A Space users.  You can see how many topics exist with the number in the topics column.

To view or reply to the last post - click on the last post heading.  To see each of the topics that has been created in the "Category" - click on the name of the category.

Good luck - let us know

You can search the Space (and the main website), click below and enter a keyword-

Hiya all.
I am a full memeber of the ICB in the UK and would like to know how bookkeeping in Australia differ from that in the UK? 
I hope to start my own bookkeeping business in the UK shortly and whilst doing this enhance my learning to become a certified accountant, so that I can apply for entrance into Australia via the skills list. 
Would be interested in any courses that are on offer in Australia so make my bookkeeping knowledge Australian friendly.

Regards


Craig

HI Craig
your best bets would be to choose which software platform you plan to use and undertake a "Certificate in bookkeeping" type course offered by the softwre companies or their training affiliates. MYOB, Xero & Reckon all have them and they are the prominant players in Australia.

You would then need to consider undertaking a conversion of your qualifications to equate to the Cert IV Bookkeeping in Australia

But the absolute must would be to do the BAS Agent Skill set, which is part of Cert IV. Activity Statement Unit & Payroll Unit.

Aust is different to UK bookkeeping mostly around the way GST works - it isnt the VAT by any stretch.
and payroll here is very different

Thank you for that information. Certainly will look in that. Just about to set up my own bookkeeping business here in the UK while I continue my studies to become an accountant.

Regards
