I'm currently in the process of collecting documents for the CPAA assessment and all files related to my profession are named after my maiden name. However, in a few months, I will be getting married, and so my legal name will also change. Will it in any way affect my application?
I'm also curious as to which name I will use when I submit my EOI and lodge my visa application (once invited). Will it be okay if my documents show my maiden name while my EOI and application forms show my married name?
Thanks a lot!!!

I-bench mark ko lang po yung akin. Hehe.. So far po kasi ay 1.10 mos ang audit ko from a big firm. Tpos mag 1 yr na ako dito sa big bank.. Though, ndi pa po ako nag-IELTS, am making sure po na papasok ako sa points, especially sa pagclaum ng work experience, para once nag start na po ako mgprocess e hindi po masayang ang efforts at pera. Hehe. (55 points kasi ako kung ok laht at wala pang work experience).

my wife got most of her experience as external audit and she got it credited as work experience for general accountant.
the key probably is to make your COE in line with the work done by that belonging to the classification general accountant.

Yes!! I finally finished backreading 69 pages of this thread
I hope somebody can help me with the following - I'm concerned about by skill assessment. I've worked as a Taxation Accountant for almost 10 years (no other work experience aside from this) so I initially thought that my nominated occupation should be 221113 TAXATION ACCOUNTANT. But per the CPAA website, Australian Taxation Law is part of the mandatory core knowledge area which of course is not part of our BSA degree in the Philippines.
I think I have a better chance of passing the migration/education assessment by using 221111 Accountant (General) but I'm worried that I will fail the skilled employment assessment which in turn will cause my future CO not to grant me a visa..
Any thoughts on how I should proceed? TIA

Sige I will do that. Ang pwede kong i-highlight na accountant function siguro is tax reconciliations and preparation of tax provision and tax notes in the FS.. Pero aside from this tax function talaga ako i.e preparation of returns, advise, audit etc..
Thank you!
