Related Organisations
In the Australian regulatory framework, CPA Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia and the Institute of Public Accountants co-operate in an advisory role in formulating and interpreting accounting standards. All three bodies co-operate closely on professional matters, and issue joint handbooks. There was some discussion about merging the membership of both bodies, but there are no concrete plans for this move. Such a move would likely be considered controversial given the different entry requirements of each organisation. The three bodies collaborate in supporting the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, founded in 2006, which publishes ethics-related standards for accountants in Australia based on the international standards published by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA). CPA Australia is also a member of Asia Oceania Tax Consultants' Association (AOTCA).

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
