CA Essentials helps you revisit critical concepts, strengthen your foundational knowledge and feel more prepared before your CA Program subject begins.

Delivered as a one day weekend workshop immediately before your subject commences, CA Essentials gives you focused support at the right time in your study journey.

During the interactive workshop, you will work through mini scenarios, multiple choice questions and practical activities designed to refresh your understanding of key concepts.

CA Essentials is currently available to candidates enrolled in Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) and Tax (TAX) across Australia and New Zealand.

You will also explore the key differences between tax and financial accounting, as well as different types of taxpayers, helping you build the foundation required to provide tax advice and services across a range of transactions and events appropriate to your jurisdiction.

The next CA Essentials workshop for TAX will be available in Term 4 2026.
