6. Differences and similarities in Australia, Japan and Sri Lanka
The above overview of case studies demonstrates the differences and similarities that
are evident across and between countries in terms of accounting education systems. This
snapshot of systems across three countries reveals five key areas of variation:
(1) In Australia, three national professional accounting bodies are IFAC member
bodies, while, in Japan and Sri Lanka, there is only one national IFAC member
body. Australia has the Institute of Chartered Accountants, CPAA and the IPA.
Japan has the JICPA, while Sri Lanka has the ICASL.
(2) In Australia, entry to the professional programs requires that a body of
accounting knowledge be assessed and passed. In Sri Lanka, no pre-requisite
accounting knowledge is required, other than obtaining three passes at the
Advance level examination. In Japan, the requirement is successful completion
of the CPA entry exam.
(3) The accreditation process in Australia enhances the relationship between
academics and professional bodies, whilst no such accreditation process occurs
in either Japan or Sri Lanka.
(4) In Sri Lanka, students are able, and most do undertake the professional program
concurrent with their undergraduate studies with many enrolling in the
professional program before enrolling in accounting programs at university
level. This is rarely the case in Australia and Japan.
(5) Each of the countries has their own benchmark discipline standards. In the
Australian context, these standards are determined by the accounting
community (academics, employers and professional bodies). The JUACE
prescribes accounting students’ competencies in Japan. Meanwhile, a Subject
Benchmark Statement in Accounting provides guidance in Sri Lanka.
It is evident, and not surprising, that key differences exist between the three countries in
this study. One could reasonably expect that these and other differences will surface
across other countries. But what is important is gaining an initial understanding of
accounting education systems and how a Global Model of Accounting Education might
be used to achieve this. Table I highlights key areas of difference between the countries.
