In the word of accounting profession, it seems like it is compulsory to have a professional qualification to be in line with the job market. An auditor/accountant with none is stuck or perhaps going be tough moving forward. Thus seeking advice if i should attempt:

1. CFA level 1 (probably not able to clear all 3 levels)
2. CPA australia (clearing) + CIMA Strategic Case study (To get CGMA title)
3. CPA australia (clearing) + CIA (To get ceritified internal auditor)
