  3. By virtue of JPA recognition, the A&F degree is also recognized by the Malaysia Institute of Accountants (MIA). Therefore, Crescendo's A&F graduate can become a Chartered Accountant (CA) in Malaysia after sitting & passing the MIA's Qualifying Exam.

2. ICPAS (Singapore) Accreditation
The A&F degree is also accredited by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS) and it is one of the very few degrees which has received "full" accreditation-giving it the maximum exemption possible for the Professional Examination.
