Let your brother assess whether his line of work is more or less the same as that of an Accountant (General) as per ANZSCO definition:

My wife did CPAA and we dread failing in the Accounting Theory subject but thankfully wala naman naging problema. They say mas lenient ang IPA and ICAA but I will not touch on that as I have no knowledge over it. 🙂

<blockquote rel="stonehenge">@Brian83 hi! for accountants, required po na maassess ng accounting body regardless if state sponsored or independent. with the new rules implemented, required po ang ielts acad (7 in all) unless you had your assessment before the implementation of new rules.</blockquote>

Hi @stonehenge, san nyo po nakuha ang info above? Cos i am CPA but i'll have Vetassess to assess my education and employment dahil vet ang assessing body ng would be nominated occupation ko (internal auditor). Is it a general rule for Accountants especially with regards to IELTS? Or you're only referring to those practising accountants?

Thanks.

Check mo what is the requirements of VETASSESS...

CPAA, ICA and IPAA - these agencies requires an acad IELTS of 7 in all subjects.

VETASSESS for Internal Auditor MAY have a different requirement.

@psychoboy, my purpose is only to clear that it depends sa nominated occupation and the corresponding assessment body of our fellow accountants (i.e. IA-vetassess). Quoted from stonehenge that for accountants required na maassess ng accounting body at kelangan acad ielts ang kukunin.

I hope i have a point regarding this. Para lang po di gumulo ang usapan o baka ako lang ang naguluhan. ^__^

So It depends on the assessing body nga po. Vetassess doesn't require any ielts to process skills and educational qualification. You'd only need ielts when you lodge an application to diac which is pwede na ang gt module for immigration purposes.

I hope i am right. 🙂</blockquote>

There you go!! VETASSESS won't need any IELTS pala... 🙂

Yes, it depends on who will do your skills assessment.

Sabi nila pwedeng abuting ng 10 years bago maging resident jan sa US ngaun. Marami akong kakilala nanjan din mostly mga nsa audit firms.

Kawawa naman ang IA walng state sponsorship =( Palit na kaya ako ng skillset hhaha</blockquote>

10 yrs is 10yrs.. sa 10yrs na yan.. eh citizen na ako sa AU..

pwede naman bumalik US kung sakali with AU passport na.. awww!!

about IA: kung abot ka nmn ng 60pts without SS.. pwede kana mag visa 189..

hintay ka lang ng konting oras for the visa invitation..

pero un nga, based sa latest skillselect invitation.. ang dami na rin visa189 na 60pts din..

so ayos na rin..

which stage of application na kayo?

goodluck po..</blockquote>

Last check ko nsa 65 or 70 yata, kasi almost 10 years na din exp ko. Ma hinihintay lang akong timing and results before ko mag submit ng docs sa vetassess =)

Hi Guys, I just want to bring this thread to life.

May we know any accountant here who's already employed in an accounting/finance job in AU and which city you are in?

Care to share your experiences and specialization?

Regards

@cylin hi, sorry for the confusion. I meant for those who nominated General Accountant as their occupation. 🙂

@amcasperforu

hello there,

share ko lang po kasi sa ICAA ako nag pa assess ng skill ko, regarding dun sa tanong mo, either skills mo lang ang ipapa assess mo or "combo" meaning kasama ung employment. They will assess if your employment is related to your nominated occupation which in our case is "Accountant"

Sa akin kasi nag pa assess ako ng both skills and employment ko para alam ko kung ilang points ang iki claim ko sa aking work experience. ayaw ko kasi n mag over ako sa pag claim ng points that in the end hindi ko rin kaya mapatunayan or mapanindigan. So just to make sure i decided to avail of the combo assessment ng ICAA.

hello there,

Congratulations! I would like to ask how many are your working experience po? Thanks!

@filipinacpa

i was able to claim ung minimun lang sa work experience ko. kasi ang tinanggap nila ay ung work experience ko dyan sa pinas. ung dito sa abroad, they did not consider it kasi hindi specifically "accountant" ung aking job title. although kung base s responsibility at duties ay accountant naman ang aking position.

<blockquote rel="wynx">@filipinacpa

@wynx, so specific and strict talaga sila about sa job title ano? Tsk! Pambihira naman. hehe..iba din ang job title ko abroad eh.

I can speak for CPA Australia; di naman sila strict sa job title AS LONG AS yung mga detailed roles and responsibilities mo are in line with how ANZSCO define it. Case in point, si wife applied for accountant general - 5yrs of experience in a job title as external auditor was accepted.

hope this helps!

@psychoboy kasi naman po External Auditor is under group Accountants po and the same skill set sya so pasok sya sa "closely related" occupation kya po kayo hindi nagkaproblema. But if ang job title mo ay admin/accounts executive kahit na scope mo ay pang accountant it matters i think kasi wala naman sa group ang admin/accounts executive.
