@jillpot thanks

DreamBigDreamHigh

To all Active Accounts here.

Advise naman po. I plan to migrate in AU in the next few years. gano po kaya kalaki magagastos?

Currently, nagpatransfer ako sa AU account sa company ko. For exposure sa accounting world nila.

Nagapply rin ako sa CPA AU membership nila.

Mas wise po ba na maging CPAA ka muna here is PH while nagiipon sa magagastos ng migration?

Hope someone can provide guidance to me. :']

@DreamBigDreamHigh don't worry about the cost. You can recover it all once you are in AU. After all quality life and all other perks that you might get once you are permanent resident visa holder are greater than cost you might incur. (substance over form).

To answer your question about the cost:
visa cost the last time I know AUD 3600 per applicant
degree and work experience assessment is aroung 520 AUD in CPAA
English test is around 250 USD (self study)
Medical is around 6K PHP
these exclude all other minor expenses, do the math.

Hello po. Guys, may tanong lang po, wondering anyone na nainvite na before of having 65 aggregate score same of my subclass (General Accountant)? Gaano po kau katagal before nakareceive ng invite? Thank you.

jhia

@jocarv Hi po, what did you apply? Almost same kasi tayo ng job description, is it General or Management? Thanks po.

batman

@bjsad214 are you referring to visa 189? afaik since last year 70 points na ang cut off ng mga na iinvite dahil sa dami ng applicants na may mataas ng points.

aireen

hi,
ask lng ako, how long before ma invite if NSW 190 for accountants? and how much? thanks.

@Micaiah08 hello po! sorry ngayon ko lang po nakita reply ninyo. Salamat po sa info! Sobrang helpful. I received an offer na po from Kaplan Business School. MPA po course ko. Pero nagpapasend pa po sila ng Statement of Purpose for GTE assessment. Ask ko lang po kayo sana kung paano po ninyo naconvince sila noon sa letter ninyo na babalik din po kayo dito sa Pinas after niyo po matapos yung degree na kinuha nyo? Salamat po.

gyyg

Hi po! I am currently applying for a student visa.

Ask lang po sana ako with regards Master of Professional Accounting.

Ano po possible jobs na pwede ko mapasukan pagbalik ko po dito satin sa Pinas? Kasi diba Australian Tax and Law subjects po ang meron dun?

Need ko po kasi sa Statement of Purpose ko. Hindi po ako makaisip ng magandang way para maconvince sila na babalik din ako dito after ko matapos yung degree ko since hindi rin po ako ganun ka-familiar sa CPA and CA dyan sa Australia. I have a degree in Business Administration po.

Sa mga may mababait pong kalooban na willing tumulong, here's my email po [email protected]

Much needed lang po talaga ng advice pleassee!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

@aireen invites depends on your current points. once you received ITA you need to pay 300AUD upon submission of required docs for NSW sponsorship assessment.

Hi Accountants,

May I ask if it's possible to claim points while working as a Junior Accountant? Or I really need to be the company's Accountant before CPAA/ICAA will consider my work experience?

Thanks!

aireen

@batman thanks, saktong 70pts lng ako eh..nakapag EOI din ako for 489 with 75pts last Oct. pero ala pa din invite..try q nalang din for 190... sana ma invite aq for NSW kasi walang proof of funds needed..

based sa mga nabasa q, pahirapan din ata under 190 ang accountants if 70pts lng.. tama ba? ..agen, Thank you..

batman

@aireen for 489 I think you need to apply directly to the regional office. Pero for accountant required yata ng local experience to be considered, unless may family sponsor ka. Same goes with external auditor.

70 points has higher chances than 65 so keep the faith.

aireen

@batman thanks, relative sponsorship yung 489 q. Yep, very positive pa rin aq na ma I invite. .Haha. .
Thank you very much.

hello, pahelp po, just received a negative assessment because cost controller and property accountant roles are "not considered to be at the level of depth and complexity in an accounting role" accdg to cpaa ( ., dapat b ngpreprepare ng fs para maqualify sa acctg role per cpaa standard? hindi din pwd s 221111 ung accounts payable job? salamat po sa sasagot!

miljen

Ps. Hindi din nirerecognize ni cpaa ang "more than one employment over the same period of time" - sinama kc namin ang part time accountant occupation sa foundations n hawak namin. So dapat ung full time lng ang ipapaasess? Pag nagpareassess po ba may chance p n mbgo ang outcome kpg inayos ang job descriptions or kpg tinanggal ang mga part time acctg jobs or maliit lng chance for positive assessment pag kay cpaa p din mgpaassess? Thanks.

aisleandrow

@miljen ang opinion ko ay based sa experience ko lang naman. Di ko rin maintindihan yung sakin kasi ngpa assess ako tapos same company lang naman ako nilipat lang ako dito sa SG pero hindi nirecognize ni cpaa lahat ng experience sa pinas. Ang ginawa ko ngpabago ako ng coe sa pinas pinattern ko sa anzcode ng general accountant. Ngpatulong ako sa HR namin. Tapos ngpa reassess ako kay IPA kasi sinubukan ko tawagan si cpaa di daw sila mg reassess. Ang alam ko yung iba pwede. try mo din file ka tapos change mo coe mo.

miljen

@aisleandrow thanks po.
Question po ulit, advisable po ba kung magpalit kmi ng anzcode from gen accountant to management accountant pero same assessing body pa rin magassess kpg negative ung sa naunang anzcode? Thanks. Or mas madami positive asessment kay CA compared kay CPAA? Thanks.

joyee

Sa case ko naman... nacredit yung external audit experience ko sa general accountant kasi i made sure yung COE ko in line with the job description ng general accountant. Baka you should change your COE. Just a thought. Hehehe

aisleandrow

tama namn si @joyee dapat talaga sya in line sa anzcode ng gen accountant. Check mo mga wordings na gamit mo @miljen . Kung mgpapalit ka from gen accountant to management accountant, prang wala ata sa 189 ang management accountant Di lang ako sure. Mg 189 kaba or 190

batman

@miljen may mga applicant dito AP accountant role pero nag positive sa CPAA assessment. Just make sure na ang job description mo is closely related sa description ng accountant sa ANZCO description ng nominated occupation mo for General accountant:

Assisting in formulating budgetary and accounting policies

Conducting financial investigations, preparing reports, undertaking audits and advising on matters such as the purchase and sale of businesses, mergers, capital financing, suspected fraud, insolvency and taxation

miljen

Salamat sa mga sagot. 189, 190 and 489 sana ako eh. Cge ayusin ulit ang COE and try ko ibang code and sa ibang assessing body. Thanks.

batman

@miljen good luck sa application.

aisleandrow

@miljen warn lang kita si IPA will take 8weeks on each assessment at mas mahal kaysa kay CPAA. Try mo muna if okay ba si cpaa na pa reassess ka kasi mas mura pa yun

batman

@aisleandrow nag increase na si CPAA 520 AUD na sila. how much IPAA?

miljen

@batman thanks.
@aisleandrow thanks.
Increase ulit? sakit sa bulsa, halos pareho n sa CA na 600aud for combined assessment kaso 6weeks.

aisleandrow

@batman Qualification assessment is 500aud (fast track 741aud) and Skill employment assessment is 241aud.

batman

@aisleandrow that's pricey!
btw ang taas ng points mo wala pa ITA?

aisleandrow

oo nga ang mahal kaya not highly recommended sa IPA kaso that time wala akong choice. waiting game ang 70points sa 189 but im believing it will change.

miljen

hello, dapat po ba 5 yrs na acctg experience kapag magpaskills assessment? Xnxa na sa tanong >-
