on the stat dec, i indicated all the important information missing from the "generic" COE provided by my previous employers.. had it signed by a lawyer and passed it to my agent. Bahala na ang immigration mag verify nun.. I'm confident naman na everything I've written on the stat dec were true..
hope it helps, if it doesn't, at least something you might wanna consider.. )

If gusto mo po talaga gumawa ng statutory declaration, ito po yun templates.
http://www.ag.gov.au/www/agd/agd.nsf/Page/Statutory_declaration
Although yun ACS application ko po hindi na ako gumawa nyan, pwede ka po gumawa na lang ng detailed document. Sa 1st paragraph ilagay nyo po un similar sa generic COE na binigay sa inyo. Yun nag-state ng name, position, etc mo. And then following paragraphs un main duties and responsibilities mo. If hindi confidential sa company, ilagay mo na din projects mo and technologies/languages na ginamit. Don't forget ilagay mo din part/full time, # of hours per week. Addressee ko is si ACS. Tapos sa baba signatory is colleague mo na mas mataas position sa iyo sa company. Mas okay if manager mo. Then if he/she is kind enough, ask mo if pwede ilagay contact number nila dun + email add. Tapos pa-sign mo sa kanya. Since wala ka company letterhead, ipa-sign mo sa kanya ng blue ink. Para magamit mo pa sa pag-apply sa DIAC since magmukha sya colored (colored = mukhang original talaga).
Bonus na din if pumayag sya na ipa-photocopy mo yun company ID niya, then sa photocopy ipa-sign mo ulit with printed name and date.
Ayun okay na yun, pwede mo na i-pass sa ACS. Reason ko naman kaya hindi na ako nagpa-statutory declaration kasi hassle din, ipa-notaryo ko pa. Mas nadalian ako dun sa reference letter na lang kasi similar din yun sa nasa CV ko. Hope this helps.

Not sure. Kasi ako yun mga pinagawan ko ng reference letter, I photocopied their IDs tapos sinama ko dun sa document. Pwede din if meron siya company calling card. Basta ang kailangan is proof na connected siya with the company na pinagtrabahuhan mo.

On my experience, ACS recognizes this (and DIAC I think), that's why they have the "statutory declaration" alternative, wherein you have to create an affdavit stating yung detailed work experience and all you have to do is have a supervisor (not necessarily a manager but anyone from your team that occupies a higher position than you) to provide a personal alignment (not an official company alignment) and contact details for reference ng immigration authorities...
If you guys need more info aroundd this, the ACS (australian computer society) related threads in this forum may have every info you'll need in going around cases like this... You just have to backread a bit to 3Q 2011 I think where a lot of folks here (including me) had been throwing ideas on how to best work around this hitch.
