Bookkeeping Qualifications

Certificate IV in Financial Services (Bookkeeping)

The NIA through its Registered Training Organisation is now offering skills recognition and training for the Certificate IV in Financial Services (Bookkeeping). This is one of the qualifications currently specified as a minimum educational requirement for BAS service providers seeking registration as BAS Agents under the new Tax Agents Services Act.

Our program has been designed to suit candidates who are currently working in bookkeeping roles and are seeking a formal qualification to enhance and confirm their existing knowledge and skills. It can be completed through a combination of skills recognition and distance learning activities.

Course in Basic GST/BAS Taxation Principles

The Certificate IV in Financial Services (Bookkeeping) program includes the unit FNSBKPG404A - Carry Out Business Activity and Instalment Activity Statement Tasks. If you already have a minimum Certificate IV qualification which did not include an approved course in basic GST/BAS you can enrol to complete just this one unit in Distance Learning mode.

Important Changes: Accounting Qualifications

Further to earlier advice; following an extensive review of our programs in the context of developments within the profession, the NIA through its RTO will not be offering further skills recognition and training services or taking any further enrolments in the Advanced Diploma of Accounting, Diploma of Accounting and Certificate IV in Financial Services (Accounting).

This change will not affect the current enrolments of candidates who have already commenced any of these programs with us.

The NIA RTO will however continue to offer the Certificate IV in Financial Services (Bookkeeping)

If you have any questions in relation to this change please contact either Dorothy Morgan or Regine Zou on (03) 8665 3100 or email skillsassessment@nia.org.au
