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).

“So-called “austerity,” the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. “Pull in your belt” is a slogan closely related to “gird up your loins,” or the guns-butter metaphor.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
