CPA Dilemma: What occupation to nominate? accountant or external auditor?

Gretch · September 2013

Hi! newbie here

So glad to come across this site. Im a CPA. 10months experience as external auditor with one of the big 4, 6 months as bookeepper and 4 yrs in govt audit. i would like to nominate the accountant generAl for the Skills assessment as this has a higher occupation ceiling but most of my work experience is on the external audit. So, should I nominate as external auditor or is it ok if i go with the accountant general?

Help please! Thanx

@TasBurrfoot salamat sir

I am concerned lang kasi mas mataas ceiling ng accountants sa external auditor. I was thinking mas malaki sana chance to be invited if accountant inominate ko.

@Gretch - it doesn't matter really if malaki ang ceiling ng accountant or not; all you need to ensure is you have the following:

(1) a positive skills assessment for external auditor
(2) you have at least 60pts
(3) may remaining slots pa for external auditors

based on last yr naman, kahit limited din ang slots ng external auditor versus accountant general hindi pa rin naubos yung allocation for external auditor.
