@hopeful_mea hindi ko sure un ctc, un skn kase agent na mara registered un gagawa ng mga ctc. though may nabasa ako dito sa thread na basta colored scanned copy ok na daw. verify mo na lang futher, para sure un issubmit mo.

@jencandysweet congrats on the + assessment. How did you go around that subject description requirement, hindi nag bigay school nyo ng detailed as I remember.

hopeful_mea · January 2016

@kate27 cge thanks sis! Tumaas na ba ang needed points?kasi sa immigration site sabi 70pts ang sa accountant,65 lng sa kin e. If true,kukuha na nman ako ng pte exam pra mka.20pts lng. Tama ba guys o maiinvite pa rn nman khit 60 o 65pts lng?

jencandysweet · January 2016

@batman tinanggap naman ng cpaa yun subject description along with the PRC documents. I think may bearing din siguro yun MPA with them kasi kahit hindi detailed yun syllabus ko na-positive naman. Yun lang hindi na-credit yun work experience before passing the board so need ko pa manghingi ng employment certificate sa isang employer ko. I plan to submit it sa cpaa as supplementary application so I can claim the maximum no. of points for the experience which is 8 years.

hopeful_mea · January 2016

@jencandysweet ano yung MPA sis?ilang points ka na bale ngayon? if I may ask kasi baka hndi na naiinvite pg mga nsa 60 o 65 lng =(

jencandysweet · January 2016

@hopeful_mea sis you can read this link regarding the MPA - http://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/become-a-cpa/international-affiliations/philippine-institute-of-certified-public-accountants

65 points lang din ako from my target na 70 points. I will send an application to update my assessment after ko mareceive yun isang employment certificate ko hope ma-aaprove.

Regarding sa ctc ng mga PRC docs pina-notarized ko lang lahat sa lawyer and tinanggap naman ng cpaa. Ganundin yun mga academic papers (diploma, tor, etc.) sa lawyer ko din pina-ctc. Yun syllabus pwede ata school lang but yun sa kin pina ctc ko din sa lawyer since 5 pages lang yun at subject descriptions lang.

@jencandysweet I remember some guys before who are not CPA passers pero nag pa assess ng employment nabigyan nmn ng points. what if hindi CPA pala sa pinas pero working na hindi nila e recognize yun?

jencandysweet · January 2016

@batman I was thinking of the same thing that's why i sent them an email inquiry. I'm still waiting for their response though. I need to act na rin so I have requested my employment certificate sa audit firm ko before sa pinas which will complete my 8 years exp as a CPA. Di kasi ako binigyan dati so I will try again hopefully mabigyan na this time. *praying*

batman · January 2016

@jencandysweet pag di ka binigyan mag stat declaration ka na lang, which is more tedious nga lang. pero kunting push na lang ang iyo. ako nasa PTE pa din.

Guys! thanks for the discussions... This is really helpful and informative.
Newbie...

@jencandysweet wow galing nung MPA sis, thanks sa link. i am now checking ulit sa points test kng my bearing ba yung associate member sa cpa australia, my points kya ma.claim dun?

batman · January 2016

hi @hopeful_mea , AFAIK., being an associate member of a professional body doesn't give you points for migration purposes.

hopeful_mea · January 2016

ayos, ms ok mgpa.ctc sa lawyer prang one stop na lang. btw hindi na ko kukuha ng board certificate kasi ill provide a ctc of my PRC ID and board rating..para mka.submit na ko this week. do you think importante talaga yung board cert.from PRC?na.misplace ko kasi..

hopeful_mea · January 2016

@jencandysweet forgot to tag you sis hehe

batman · January 2016

@hopeful_mea magkano bayad pag kuha ng board rating sa PRC

Jaysee21 · January 2016

Guys... Question po, im just quite confused, is the topic and the discussion (with jencandysweet) is for immigration purposes? Or for accreditation of profession to land a job and to practise accounting?

Thanks po...

batman · January 2016

@Jaysee21 welcome to forum. both actually. hehe

jencandysweet · January 2016

@hopeful_mea sis tama si batman wala pong points for migration purposes yun being associate member with CPAA. It is completely different from migration assessment. I just assumed lang na nakatulong yun MPA sa positive assessment ko since kahit papano recognized na ng cpaa ang picpa. Regarding sa board certificate, sinubmit ko kasi yun sa akin along with board ratings & PRC ID so I am not sure if they will not require it from you.

Sa PRC website, there is a section called "verification of professional licenses" This is a portal to verify the identities of registered professionals. You just need to type your name and profession and it will give you a result.

I submitted a screenshot of the result when i submitted my docs to ICAA. Baka makatulong sayo... At least may evidence from a govt website.

Jaysee21 · January 2016

@batman thanks for the welcome!

batman · January 2016

@mgfg pero sinama mo pa din yung PRC rating, PRC ID at PRC certificate mo?

mgfg · January 2016

Yup, nagsubmit padin ako ng PRC certificate and latest PRC ID, but not the rating. Then as an additional supporting doc, i submitted the screenshot. Di naman hinanap sakin yung rating...

Baka makatulong kay @hopeful_mea yung screenshot kung namisplace nya yung cert nya.

hopeful_mea · January 2016

@mgfg cge ill do that. I would really like to send the docs na kasi this week. Well anyway i'll secure na din from prc just in case ill be asked at least nkausad na. @batman @jencandysweet sayang no points pla yun so next time na lng ako pa.member and mpa. @batman not sure how much but will update you when i get there.

No additional points for being an Associate Member...

kate27 · January 2016

@hopeful_mea 60 points lang need, pero sabi dito sa forum, recently un 70 points lang na -iinvite, at may backlog daw sa 60-65 points.

Jaysee21 · January 2016

Hello! Just wanna know, may gamit ba kayong migration consultant? Yung mga agency? Is it necessary to have one? Or you can apply just your own? Thanks po!

DonPaciano · January 2016

Hi Everybody!

I've been reading this forum for quite a while already and find it very helpful and informative.

I need a detailed syllabus for Business Finance. I actually submitted what my school provided me but they came back to me and requested me to provide more information of the said subject. Is there somebody who can help me with this? Hopefully this forum is still active and there's somebody who can help me. Kindly email sa [email protected]

Maraming Salamat!

batman · January 2016

@Jaysee21 up to you if kaya mo asikasuhin ng sarili mo lang. pero kong may enough funds ka pede ka kumuha ng agent. madami ditto sa forum sila sila lang nag process.

batman · January 2016

@DonPaciano business finance subject mismo? may ibang subject na covered ang business fianance you can map business finance into those subjects and indicate that topics in business are covered in those subjects too. There was one case here that assessing body informed the applicant that he don't have sufficient business finance related coursework, the applicant then submitted mapping that topics in business finance are covered in other subject by providing mapping and description. I forgot who was that but in the end he got positive assessment.

mgfg · January 2016

@batman I had the same case. @DonPaciano You will find the finance related topics required by the assessing body in the websites of CPAA/ ICAA. Map those topics to the subjects where they were covered in your school's curriculum. In my case, i mapped icaa finance to business finance, mgt acctg 1 & 2, and fin mgt 1. As supporting docs, I submitted detailed syllabus of all relevant subjects and a certification from school signed by the dean. ICAA then contacted the dean to verify. Hope this helps, good luck!
