Move to boost accountant numbers in ACT
Posted
A new project has been launched in Canberra to address the Territory's shortage of accountants.
Ashley Jackson from CPA Australia says the aim of the $120,000 project is to encourage accountants to stay in the profession longer.
He says retired accountants are also being urged to take on part-time work.
"The project essentially is part research but it's also part practical, in that we want to place around 20 mature-aged accountants with small to medium enterprises in Canberra," he said.
