AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY OF ACCOUNTANTS

Incorporated into: 1990 Australian Society of Certified Practicing Accountants, since 2000 CPA Australia

Official blazon

Arms : Azure, a Fess enhanced and in base a Pale Argent, over all a representation of the Southern Cross counterchanged.
Crest : On a Wreath of the Colours, five Books erect proper.
Motto: 'Integrity'.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 1, 1958.

The T formed by the fess and pale represents a double-sided account, and thus double entry book-keeping. The Southern Cross, and the books in the Crest, are symbols for Australia and accountancy.Literature:
