Hi Viannej08 - if you don't mind me asking, did you get assessed did ba sa CPAA? When was this?

Thanks!

Hi Enzo.

Yes qualifications are deemed comparable however to get positive migration assessment I need to complete all four (mandatory/core) knowledge areas. One of them is Accounting Theory. This change was brought about in July 2010 if I am not mistaken.

I will appeal and send my detailed syllabus again. Maybe I need to underline all the related topics equal to Accounting Theory. You will find these in the foundation level page of their website. Accounting Principles--Introduction to Accounting! Ha, not fair. XD

viannej08

balletshoes - yes mag appeal ka, and you need to satisfy #8

8. Accounting Concepts and Principles
For this unit exam you will need to demonstrate a critical awareness of accounting and analysis issues within an international context, and an understanding of the theoretical concepts and contemporary issues underlying accounting practice.

emphasize and highlight in ur syllabus that the above topics have been taken up. depende sa skul, from where i graduated, di kasi cya naka detalye, the theories were just incorporated sa ibang accounting subjects. unlike sa new 5-yr accounting course, klarong klaro ang contemporary issues sa syllabus

go lang ng go... u can do it!

This is not good. I received negative assessment from CPAA because I failed to complete Accounting Theory which was made mandatory for Accountant occupation last July 2010. Anyone else experienced this? I am a CPA from a Section 1 school. I am really confused as I have completed Theory of Accounts and Auditing Theory. What is this Accounting Theory subject that they are referring to?

Should I appeal? Or apply to NIA instead?

Hi @balletshoes, im so sorry to here that i suggect to call them or email them to inquire and check mo din Accounting theory course mo if included sa syllabus un current issues.

Ive got my assessment from CPAA din kaso last feb 2010 and kasama sa mga subjects ko ang FINANCIAL ACCT THEORY AND PRACTICE WITH CURRENT ISSUES I and II. And as per my course description that ive submitted to them

This course is designated for the accounting majors who have completed their basic financial accounting. It deals with a comprehensive and thorough study of the foundation and conceptual framework for the generally accepted accounting principles. It includes applicationof these principles to the recognition and measurement and statement presentation and valuation of major assets, liabilities and stockholders equity in the balance sheets. Other financial accounting problems and issues are taken up towards the end of the course.


(yup hindi syllabus ang binigay sa kin ng UST unlike sa case ni @psychoboy and @viannej08. Ineexpect ko ganun kadaming pages per subject not 1 paragraph per subject pero they had accepted naman)




as per CPAA assessment my degree from UST is comparable to an Australian Higher Education and have fulfilled the 12 core knowledge areas. Then just this last June 2012, I had my degree assessed again kasi balak ko ng simulan ang CPAA qualifications ko. Kinakabahan ako kasi nga baka nagbago na un requirements nila since 2010 pa last assessment ko. It may not be anymore applicable this time. Thankfully, i had received the same assessment result and i got exempted from the 8 CPAA foundation level exams and could start na with CPAA professional level examination requirements.

Reply to @Shengsevilla: hi! when ka nag submit ng application for CPAA? nag submit din ako last June 21 para simulan na rin ang CPAA qualifications ko, pero till now under assessment pa daw if track ko status wa website nila. Usually ilang days ba before ko ma received yung assessment?

Shengsevilla

Reply to @mydear: first of all goodluck! When do you plan to come here? Buti ka pa you have 1 year after the visas were granted to come to Oz. kami ng hubby ko 5 months lang. Dahil siguro sa validity ng medical namin that we've done in the middle east.

Bout your question, 31 May ako nagbayad online, then 5 June nila nareceived un docs then 8 June lumabas un result ng PER then 15 June lumabas yung result ng CPAA assessment.

Nung tumawag ako sa kanila, usually 10 to 12 working days from the time they had received your docs ang processing time nila sa mga applicants with overseas qualifications. Kasi they need to confirm pa daw un submitted documents.

Ok na din kung mareceive mo un assessment result ng end of June. Para July ka na magpamember sa CPAA as Associate. Kasi pag after 30 June ka nagpamember di ka required from any CPD hours for the year 2012. 2013 pa ang start ng CPD requirements mo. Unfortunately nalaman ko un after ko magpamember. Ive joined CPAA as an associate member last 15 June kaya required ko for the year 2012 ng at least 20 CPD hours.

Kun mageenrol ka naman na for this semester, sana makahabol ang result mo befor 9 July para may $100 discount ka sa enrollment fees.

Again, best of luck!

Magkano po lahat lahat gagastusin ng isang CPA para ma-accredit yung tinapos niya sa Australia?

Hi everyone.

Guys yung conceptual framework na topic kasi naka incorporate yun sa Financial Accounting 1 na subject eh. So wala akong Accounting Theory na separate subject. Meron ako Contemporary Issues in Accounting. Kaso di naka specify dun ung conceptual framework.

Silhouette

ako po nagpa assess sa NIA last year, ok naman. may subjects akong seminar in accounting issues and trends, and meron din finacial accounting theory and practice.

ask ko lang po, kung sa IPA ako nagpa assess dati, dapat din ba dun ako magpamember?

TasBurrfoot

Reply to @Silhouette:

Technically yes because they were the authority who gave you a green light that your degree is comparable with their requirement.

However if you want to apply eventually to CPAA or the other body, I guess you will need to undergo another assessment of whether your degree is acceptable.

hello everyone,

i just registered here today and i would like to ask for your help about my question. i would just like to get some idea on how to submit Expression of Interest (EOI). I luckily had my positive assessment result from ICAA yesterday and the next step for me is to submit EOI. i am just wondering if this online service is now available on DIAC or i have to wait until July 1. thank you very much.

viannej08

Reply to @wynx: mag lodge ka na, now na.. para no need of EOI. tama ba ako?

TasBurrfoot

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can assist us; nalilito kasi kami sa course na Accounting Systems and Processes - can someone enlighten me on any other course names for this or maybe perhaps provide a copy of the syllabus.

Thank you!

wynx

Reply to @viannej08:thank you. pro under transition period na ngaun kasi. beside hindi ko p natatanggap ung aking original assessment result. nakita ko lang sa pinadala nilang e-mail sa akin.

wynx

hello everyone,

Meron po ba dito ang nagwowork currently dito sa middle east, particularly here in Riyadh.

thank you po.

Reply to @wynx: Hi! Only formerly working in middle east...resigned from my work in dxb coz of our migration plans. Pero un hubby ko bumalik sa jeddah. Mahirap kasi kun pareho kaming in between jobs.

balletshoes

Hi Winx,

OK ba magpaassess sa ICAA? Walang naging issue or problem regarding Accounting Theory?

wynx

Reply to @balletshoes: wala naman naging problema sa akin with regards to Accounting Theory thanks God! 11/12 naman ang nakuha ko. ang suggestion lang nila ng hindi covered ng syllabus ko ay ung Corporation Law. Ang gusto kasi nila ay specifically Australian Law on Corporation. but all in all a got a positive assessment.

wynx

Reply to @Shengsevilla: i see. im currently working here kasi sa Riyadh. kaya im looking for someone n nandito rin ngaun, pra naman meron ako mapagtatanungan kung may mga questions ako about migration to Australia.

hi to all! for CPA's, is it a requirement sa assessing authority na dapat updated ang membership sa PICPA? tagal ko na kasing di nagbabayad ng membership dues..

TasBurrfoot

Reply to @lou24:

I don't think necessary as they don't even recognize the existence of PICPA... Some people here are none CPAs but they were able to get positive assessment from CPAA.

wynx

Reply to @lou24: totoo ung sabi ni @psychoboy kasi i myself is not a CPA. pro thank God i got a positive assessment result from ICAA.

wynx

hello everyone,
meron b dito n kaka submit lang ng EOI nila?

lou24

@psychoboy and @wynx - thanks for your input

wynx
