<blockquote rel="lock_code2004">@staycool - i think the confusion was because you are using the word "VETASSESS"...

correct me if im wrong, if you had your skills assessment from CPAA, then you have a CPAA skills assessment. and not VETASSESS skills assessment....</blockquote>

EXACTLY... 🙂 VETASSESS and CPAA are 2 different creatures.

Then again, the assessment of @staycool was done some yrs back so it might have been a different process from what we know today.

Hi Guys,

I posted some time ago about my skilled employment not being considered by cpa australia since i took their accounting theory exam last dec 2012 and only experiences after that would be considered from their end. i was initially assessed as 11/12 completed subjects and accounting theory was the lacking mandatory part. anyway, after consulting an Au agent and had my experiences assessed, i proceeded with my diac application submitting only my detailed COEs. I have just been granted a 189 visa. I applied last April, got allocated with CO after a week and was granted this May, recently.

I just want to let you guys know that skilled employment assessment by the assessing body is not mandatory (as also stated by DIAC) but would sure help in cases where experiences are not aligned with the ANZSCO description of an accountant (according to my agent).

Hope this helps guys. Goodspeed.

Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie in this forum. I'm a CPA too and took my license last 2010. Now, part of my plan is migrating to Australia in the future. Currently, I accepted a job offer as " Tax Accountant" from one of the largest company in Australia thru the their newly created global shared service center here in Taguig, Philippines. As the job title suggests, we are dealing with Australian Taxation. My question is, do you think this experience will be considered/counted in my application of migrating to Australia in the future? Thanks for the info.

^^ cannot be considered as Australian local experience which most employers in Australia are looking since youre based in Pinas and working under outsourced/ shared service arrangements.

But when time comes that you are already applying to work in Australia, dont forget to highlight that in your prospective employer. Thats the job application part. But how it will directly help on your application for migration i cant think of any. Indirectly, probably someone might sponsor you because of that exp but thats another story.

So i think not much.

Goodluck

@fanatic25 - just to make it clear regarding @vhoytoy 's comment..

your experience WILL be considered as part of your OVERSEAS working experience
but it will NOT be considered as LOCAL AUSTRALIAN experience...

for your info, iba kasi ang point system ng local AU work experience, mas mataas ang points..

read the skillselect points system to understand this..

but yes, definitely, it will be counted towards your work experience for skills assessment..

vhoythoy

Yup, lockcode is correct thats the consideration. It will help you to gain work experience for points computation in your application in AU

Thank you vhoythoy and lock_code2004 for all the inputs. Greatly appreciated.

I think I am now 100% sure to leave my current job (deals with US Taxation) and go for new job (Australian Taxation) for me to have better chance to land job in Australia.

Thanks a lot again.

yeah - i think it will be helpful. One of the differences kasi when you are here in AU is iyung taxation law nila. So kung alam mo iyun..it can probably be an advantage. Iyan sabi minsan sa mga inaaplyan ko..wala daw kasi ako experience sa taxation ng AU, kaya iba kinukuha nila.

Guys, may member na po ba dito ng CPA Australia? Nag-apply ako online and nagsubmit ng relevant documents para sa membership...so far nagbayad na rin ako ng fee as Associate Member - pede ko kaya ilagay sa CV ko yun na Associate Member ako baka sakaling pampaganda ng CV pag punta ko sa OZ...

vhoythoy

^^ pwede nman basta approved na membership mo. Showing that youre keen in pursuing the designation. Yung mga kakilala ko nga nilalagay pa title na ASA beside their name not sure about that though. Tuloy mo na din pagkuha ng exams pag may funds ka. Goodluck fellow accountants =)
