The BAS Requirements
If you are in Australia or you have a lot of dealings done in Australia, then you would have heard of BAS. Yet, what you do know is that it is a change in the field of accountancy but what you do not know is what it really means. Well, just in case you are still stumped as the whole deal, well BAS is actually an acronym and it stands for Business Activity Statement. Well, if you are in bookkeeping and you want to offer your services as a source of income for you and so you could also start your own bookkeeping company, well, then, you have to understand what the government is requiring. You need to be a BAS bookkeeper to be able to offer your services to clients or to anybody else who needs such help. BAS bookkeepers are people who have been registered with the government and have been given the go signal to do the job. Everything is now being regulated and so people who need such services can check with the government to see if the work done was legit and if the person who did the work was also somebody to trust. You have to apply to be a registered BAS agent. You have to be a bookkeeper first. You have to know the craft. And then you have to have had done 1400 hours of such work to be able to qualify. Plus, you have to have at least a certificate of IV Financial Services or Accounting. If not, you have to have at least a certificate in Bookkeeping or IV Financial Services.
