Accountant

vhoythoy · December 2014

@vhoythoy Hi! I'm new in this thread and I find it very useful

For the employment supporting docs, do we need to submit the original or certified true copies as well?

Thanks a lot!

ctc lang. keep mo original for future purposes. scanned mo na rin para may soft copy ka bago mo submit. colored scan will do sa DIBP or kaya ctc if black and white copy. pero sa assessor CTC need nila mostly

@psychoboy hello po, mangungulit ulit sa inyo. meron po ba kayong sample reference letter? pwd po pashare? salamat.
It is the basic COE which goes something like:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT MRS PSYCHOBOY WAS A STAFF MEMBER OF OUR FIRM FROM XX XXX 20XX TO XX XXX 20XX. SHE HELD THE POSITION OF XXXX XXXX IN OUR AUSSURANCE GROUP WITH BASIC SALARY OF 500PHP AT THE TIME OF HER RESIGNATION.

ATTACHED IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES WERE HER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

THIS CERTIFICATION IS BEING ISSUED UPON THE REQUEST OF MRS PSYCHOBOY IN RELATION TO HER APPLICATION FOR MIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.

HR PARTNER
Hope this helps!

Hi @TasBurrfoot. I heard that you also need to include the working hours in the COE? How do you think that can be presented? Also, will ITRs (BIR form 2316) alone do in proving compensation (I don't have payslips)? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me with my query.

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!!!

Hello po. I just want to ask re: Syllabus. I asked d university 3 months ago for a copy of it but they cant provide me for the reason na matagal na dw nawala since 2006 p dw ako grduate. D only doc they can provide is a course description. Pwde na ba ito maconsider or kelangan ko tlaga yung syllabus? Meron sla ngayong maiprovide sa akin pero yung bago at revised na. Tsaka super kapal din dw ng syllabus and it will take them time to photocopy isa2 dw. Ask ko lang po kang syllabus ba tlaga ang sinubmit niyo or course dscription lang? Thanx po.

muffles127 · January 2015

@erikathy kapag course description kase ang sinubmit mo they would not know kung ano ang mga topics covered by the subjects taken up. Syllabus ang kinukuha nila kase machecheck nila kung covered ba ng education mo yung mga kelangan na natake up mo na. I'm not sure kung meron nakapag apply na course description pang ang binigay nila. Syllabus din ang binigay ko nung nagpaassess ako

pinanay · January 2015

@boy_negro_24 @sticky_note pm me your email add I will search for my revised syllabus na sinubmit ko sa CPAA...

Just viewed the immi.gov.au website and based on this, the ceiling value for accountants is 5478 and the results to date is 378. I'm just wondering because when I checked a few weeks ago, I'm positive that the results to date were much higher (around 1800ish). Do you think there was just a mistake when I checked previously?

I saw this as well and it should really be a typo... No way it can be that low!

vamdcpa · February 2015

@TasBurrfoot I thought so! Thank you

cpa_oct2011 · February 2015

Sa mga CPAs na nagwork sa auditing firm... Yung work experience nyo po ba sa auditor then ay full acknowledge/credit when you had your work experience assessment? Thanks

cpa_oct2011 · February 2015

Thank you Sir sa reply. And may I know po kung ilang years yung experience nyo at saan audit firm?

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).

Hi - seeking for opinions to what skilled occupation I will qualify for. I have a varied work experience. I am unsure of the Accountant General occupation. Thnks!

Job Title - Short Description - Employment Period
Fund Accounting Analyst - Fund administration - almost 4 years
Audit Supervisor - External audit - 2 years
HR Accounting Account Owner - Balance sheet reconciliation - 1.5 years

@TasBurrfoot at sa mga nakakaalam...eto hindi para sakin hehehe, para sa friend ko.

Yung friend ko kasi eh nag external audit ng 4 yrs tapos internal audit ng 4 yrs. Itatanong ko sana kung puede nyang inominate ang Accountant as profession para counted pareho so total nya eh 8 years.

should be ok I guess...

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.

@TasBurrfoot, salamat bossing!

Hello everyone

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

Sa private company ka nman nagwork diba? And you also performing accountant functions? Taxation acct ba job title mo tlaga sa lahat ng docs (payslip/ job contract/ bir docs)? Anyway if i were you, kung matagal ka na sa company (10yrs kamo) discuss your plans with your boss and HR na gawan ka ng coe with job descriptions and responsibilities similar to acct as mentioned sa skill assesment if tlagang part ng job scope mo. Medyo ilapit mo sa gen accountant with tax functions kesa sa tax kung medyo alanganin ka pero dont make falsified job scope nman. Just my cents

gms · February 2015

Hi Vhoythoy, thanks sa reply. Naka-apat na ako na private companies pero ang nakalagay sa lahat ng COEs and contracts na role ko with them is either tax acccountant or tax analyst.

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!

vhoythoy · February 2015

^^ medyo special ang case mo. If you can seek professional advise from agent or someone with similar case much much better. Mahirap din kasi lalo na kung may sariling skill set code yung mga tax analyst/ tax advisor and if hindi classified as related to accountant may possibility na ma deny un. Research further din
