I was an internal auditor for 1.5 yrs. After my short stint sa IA, I am now working as State Auditor po sa Commission on Audit dito sa Pinas for 3yrs already.
I would like to apply po sana as IA, being the nominated skill. However, I am wary na baka hindi maconsider yung experience ko as State Auditor na relevant sa IA, kasi state auditing is external in nature.
Here's my plan po kasi sana: Magapply as IA once I reach 5 yrs exp, at magobtain ng CIA Certification (which brings me to another question na if the CIA Certification will gain additional points for me in my PR application); kasi otherwise, if hindi din naman makaka-add yung CIA certification, might as well EXTERNAL AUDITOR nalang yung a-aplayan ko.
I hope anyone can enlighten me on the matters I have raised po.
Many Thanks and Godbless!

Topics discussed are: overview of cost accounting; manufacturing cost accounting cycle; job order cost system; accounting, planning, and control for materials, labor, and factory overhead; and environmental cost management.
Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting 1
This course is a continuation of Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting 1. It deals mainly with consolidation and mergers, parent-subsidiary relationships, and consolidated statements, including foreign subsidiaries.

Based on my research, CIA will help in positive assessment in Vetasses coz it shows one’s comptency and knowledge of IA role. I believe this will also help solidify your years of experience coZ a two years relevant experience is required prior to granting of CIA designation.

Sa Transcript of Records po ba kailangan ba specific yung purpose ng request ng TOR na i-iscan? I got an orig. transcript but the REMARKS nito is for BOARD EXAM PURPOSES ONLY.
I wonder if strict ba ang CPAA regarding this one..medyo mahal din kasi to request for another copy for another specific purpose. I hope someone who may have previous experience can help me po.
Sorry not IA-related yung query. DIY hopeful here. Thanks

Got it after a month lang from submission. From my almost 7 years experience, they deducted 1 year, i got 5.9 years which is good enough for 10 visa points. I got the maximum attainable points from my work experience. Yey!
To others going through VEtasses process.. If there’s a tip i learned from processing mine, in addition to COE, I also submitted my company’s Internal audit charter to support the
definition of my current role as IA and support the organizational independence of my Department. I’ve read somewhere that it is common that many got negative Vetassess results because they failed to prove their audit role as third line of defense. Hope this helps.
