_Application for CPA Program Marking

Semester Examinations

Reporting and Professional Practice (RPP)
Corporate Governance and Accountability (CGA)
Business Strategy and Leadership (BSL)

CPA Australia's CPA Program is assessed by open book examinations conducted at the end of first and second semester each year.

RPP and CGA examinations contain a multiple-choice component (70%) and a written response component (30%). The BSL examination comprises 80 per cent written response and 20 per cent multiple choice questions.

Marking of written response examination questions takes place in a restricted period in late May (first semester) and mid November (second semester).

In order for marking to be carried out according to consistent standards, a team of knowledgeable and committed markers is required to work intensively over a weekend under the guidance of CPA Australia's chief examiners. A detailed marking guide is provided to assist markers and to promote a uniform approach to marking.

Markers must hold CPA status to mark RPP and CGA papers. To mark BSL examination papers, a background in middle and senior management with experience in strategic planning is sought along with relevant qualifications.
