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 commenced 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, unless they
were providing BAS services for
a fee immediately before
commencement of the new law on 1
March 2010. If they were they
will have six months (until 31
August 2010) to notify the
Board, and by doing that, be
able to enter the new regime
under the transition
arrangements. This means that
transition bookkeepers will have
two years to comply with the new
law and meet the educational
qualifications and relevant
experience requirements required
to be a BAS agent.
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 Certificate IV or
that experience working as an
employee will count against the
1,400 hours. Unless you are a transition BAS agent 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.
