If the answer is YES you have come to
the right place
The
Bookkeeping Institute of Australia is the only
Registered Training Organisation in Australia providing a
total 360 pathway for new bookkeepers to becoming BAS
Agents under the new law - which will receive Royal Assent
in January 2010.
Under the new regulatory
regime for the registration of BAS agents, which will
commence on 1 March 2010, bookkeepers must be registered in
order to provide BAS agent services for a fee or to "engage
in other conduct connected with providing such services."
However in order to
register, a bookkeeper must hold a Certificate IV in
Financial Services (Bookkeeping), or higher, and have
undertaken at least 1,400 hours of relevant experience in
the past 3 years.
The
Bookkeeping Institute of Australia will not
only enable you to obtain the
nationally recognised
Certificate IV in Financial Services (Bookkeeping) but
through our partnership with tax agent ABN BAS you
will also be able to provide BAS agent services for a fee
while gaining your 1,400 hours for registration as a BAS
Agent in your own right.
Don't be fooled by other
uninformed training organisations into thinking that all you
need is a Cert IV or that experience working as an employee
will count against the 1,400 hours. The only experience that
will count are BAS services performed under the "supervision
and control of a tax agent registered
under the Act or a BAS agent registered under the Act."
ABN BAS qualify as such an agent and your experience
will count.
The
Bookkeeping Institute of Australia is also the
only training provider to offer you the choice of taking our
total 360 pathway Certificate IV in Financial Services
(Bookkeeping) or our more comprehensive BI-580 Start Your
Own Bookkeeping Business Program which is designed to help bookkeepers wanting to start their own BAS and Bookkeeping
business.
