CPA Australia assessment

TasBurrfoot

<blockquote class="Quote" rel="PengCPA">Hi to all!

Baka lang po may makatulong dito, since sa CPAA din po ako magpapa-assess, but more of immigration ang concern ko.

New member here. Magtanong lang po ako regarding sa COE, nangyari din po sa akin kasi na ung employer nagalit sa akin, in effect ayaw din ako bigyan ng COE, and worse, lahat ng co-worker ko pinagbawalan na bigyan ako ng help like recommendation letters, or anything to testify for me. Ngayon po ang plan ko is I will make Self-Statutory Declaration, with the following supporting documents:

Bank Statement
Company ID
Payslips (even though I am the preparer si I assume weak evidence siya)
Employment Contract
Form 2316 (ITR, again, ako ang nkapirma on behalf of my boss)
BIR Form 1604CF (again, ako ang nkapirma on behalf of my boss, even though may attachment ne BIR acknolwedgement receipt from email), with alphalist
SSS, PHIC and HDMF Contributions List (to prove na nging employers ko tlga sila, PHIC and HDMF still pending)
Resignation Letter
Summary of Compensation and Allowances (self-made reconciliation since ung amount per bank statement n nka-reflect is may kasamang allowance, so kelangan ma-trace ung part ng salary per payslip)

When I inquired sa notary (ung sa Cityland sa likod ng PBCom), usually daw ang stat dec is prepared by someone and usually daw co-worker. I am having issues with this as I said, mhihirapan ako mg-ask ng help kht sa former co-workers ko.

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.</blockquote>

I am not sure if things has changed but 5 years ago my wife issued herself a statutory declaration (or affidavit ata as it is know in PH) that list down her job description, responsibility, etc... In the doc she mentioned that the reason she cannot get COE from company nor get any statement from previous manager.

Pasok naman...

Hello po! New member here, kailangan po ba complete requirements muna before magpa assess sa CPAA? I am planning to get skilled assessment in applying for Subclass 491 visa. I am CPA, 10 years experience. . Malabo na daw kasi PR agad. Salamat po sa makaka sagot.

yes make sure you have the English test before applying for assessment and all other supporting documents required for assessment.

Hello po.

Meron po ba ditong may sample template ng employer testimonial for skilled employment assessment sa CPAA (either accountant or external auditor)? Nagrequest po kasi ako ng COE sa previous company ko and dinetalye ko ung mga requirements na nasa website ng CPAA:

EMPLOYER TESTIMONIAL

For employment claims to be recognised for skilled employment, you must provide a signed testimonial from your employer that includes:

the official letterhead of the employing business. The letterhead should indicate clearly the full address of - the business and any telephone, email and website addresses
the name, position, signature, contact number and direct work email of the person authorised to sign the testimonial. References from your colleagues at the same level or below won’t be considered
the direct work email address and contact number of the individual writing the reference. Personal phone numbers or addresses won’t be accepted
specific start and end dates of your employment history. Multiple roles within the same organisation must be listed separately, with specific start and end dates. Please specify all dates in the following format: DD/MM/YYYY
the duties or responsibilities undertaken in each role. These must be written in your employer’s own words and be relevant to your daily and monthly tasks/responsibilities. Generic job descriptions or tasks copied from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) occupation definitions won’t be accepted
whether your role/s were permanent or temporary
your working hours per week
the salary you earned.

Ang kaso lang, hindi po ganyan ung standard na COE na nirerelease nila (ung standard nila eh yung nakalagay lang ung recent position nung umalis ka tas kelan ka employed dun). So nanghihingi po sila ng template sana na pwede nila gamitin na guide para ma-include lahat ng details na yan. Thank you po sa makakasagot!

Not really. None of our clients have provided this.

Hello.

For those who had their skills assessment with CPA Australia, what kind of document did you provide for their curriculum requirement? Would the downloadable version on my school's website suffice? Or does it need to be a customized document (i.e., should also contain my name, the year/semester when I took each subject)?

Good day po! Ask ko lng re: employee testimonials. Need po ba yung testimonial from all employers or yung current employer lang? Thank you po sa pagsagot!

Same question po, what if ayaw ko ipaalam kay current employer na nagpprocess ako ng Visa 189? Huhu

I recommend to contact your closest HR, preferably your line manager, and talk to them in private. I have written the employer testimonial myself that agrees with my actual job, so they can just simply print it on company letter head and sign.

As far as I can remember, require ng CPAA lahat ng employers from the past 10 years.> @milanalouvelle said:

Do you mean syllabus? I believe as long as complete lahat ng important subjetcs and well-described sa syllabus, that would work sa CPAA

To maximise yung points na pwede i-claim, for all employers over the last 10 years.

Unfortunately, mabibisto ka nga sa migration plans mo kung hihingi ka ng testimonial from your current employer.

Thank you @wandergorl and @Pretsels! Nakaisip na ako actually ng reason hehe I can do this. I just had 2 employers naman, so yung current lang ang worry ko hehe. Medyo close kasi ako sa boss ko kaya mas hesitant ako ipaalam na may plans ako umalis, considering binigyan nila kami ng all-expenses-paid company trip to AU.

I have another concern po, CPA Australia skill assessment requires Transcript, diploma and syllabus. I have my Diploma (yung malaking papel pa to na may hard cover haha), plus yung TOR way back 2017, I think ginamit ko sya for the CPA exam? I forgot.

My question would be: do those documents expire? I mean, do I need to request a new one for the specific purpose of application for a migration visa? And does the school provide that syllabus document? I have no idea regaring these, medyo limited din po kasi yung time ko para mag asikaso nito, I gotta plan in advance kung kelan ako maglleave for these 🙁

Thank you! I took the first step by applying in PTE Exam 3 weeks from now!

Hello, transcript and diploma doesn't expire, 🙂 pwede mo po iutilize yung same na documents that you have since then. For the syllabus, case to case basis I think depending on the school, better to get in touch po sa university nyo to check if they can release. All the best! 🙂

Thank you! I just emailed my school fr the syllabus. Will try to email my previous employer na din for the Employer testimonial.

Another question po ulit sorry, ngayon ko lang to nakita haha: handwritten ba dapat yung

"A self-written summary outlining your employment history, or just a simple word file will do? Grabe feel ko etong skill assessment yung pinaka hassle sa lahat ng steps e. I asked my friend na waiting nalang sa visa grant nya, he's an engineer and hindi naman daw ganito ka hassle mag apply ng 189 visa T.T

Any recent experience here (from Jan 2022 up to present) na nakareceive ng ITA with 75 points or less as an accountant?

Magandang araw po mga kabayan! Kaka-grant ko lang po last month ng 189 visa pero Engr kasi ako. May kapatid ko kasi akong gagraduate next year ng Accountancy naman. Itatanong ko lang po sana kung yung CPAA Skills Assessment eh uubra na galing sa Undergraduate Projects or OJT o dapat po ba purely galing sa skilled related work experience? Sa EA po kasi pwede kami magpasa ng galing sa undergraduate thesis projects. Baka lang po may makatulong sakin san ako dapat magbasa-basa para matulungan ko po kapatid ko as early as now. Pero magbackread din po ako sa thread na ito. Salamat po.

Hello, you can just do a simple word file outlining yung summary of experiences mo. What I did was a simple table sa word doc, 5 columns -- Employer Name, Roles/Position Titles, Start and End Date, Number of working hours, Last Drawn salary.. tapos I arrange mo lang sya from present to former. Feel free to add columns if you feel na okay. Ganyan talaga, madugo documentation pag 189/190, focus and keep your eye on the goal. God bless you! 🙂

Thank you! Grabe may times na nadidiscourage ako kasi ang laking money and effort commitment nito haha. Mejo kabado din ako sa assessment ng CPAA if I submit my assessment request kasi magkaiba yung exp ko (2 years Audit, 3.5 years all around AU accountant sa pinas). I have also heard na Accounting is one of the hardest occupations to earn PR, kahit nasa skill shortage list sya for all states 🙁 If I get positive assessment from CPAA, I will be standing at 75 points for 189, plus 10 if I get superior from PTE.

Hoping to get invited with that level of points!
