Accountant

dr.ew888 · October 2016

Guys, have some queries and appreciate your responses. Im graduate of BSAccountancy circa 2000, a CPA Philippines, also associate member na din ng CPAA. Was able to availed the benefits of MRA between Picpa and Cpaa and now taking the pathway 1 program for Cpa exam and my first subject is Ethics and Governance.
1. Anyone here who has taken this exam before who can share some tips and database of exam questionnaires if you can plse?
2. I heard from a friend that if you pass the Cpaa exam, you no longer need to take english test, anyone? If this is totally true?
3. When applying for eoi, what is the difference between Finance Manager, management accountant, general accountant. I know the difference per se but what i intend to ask is e.g if you selected the code for general accountant does it mean you are not allowed to becime FM? Sorry for my ignorance.
4. What is the highest points to be considered?
5. I read somewhere that they are removing these professions very soon, does it mean that we might be losing the opportunity to migrate specially for accountants who are still preparing the big move.
thank you and look forward for your reply.

@dr.ew888 hello, welcome to the forum.
2- requirement for assessment is to have competent English. never read anywhere such exemption.
3 - you can only nominate 1 occupation. if you change nominated occupation it requires you have a new assessment. the previous assessment will be considered void once you nominate new one.
4 depends on your circumstances. like age u can get as high as 30 pts as long as you are not yet 33 y/o. skilled employment highest is 15 pts. ielts is max pts is 20. bachelor degree is 15.
5- its currently under red flagged occupation. they will closed it as soon as the supply of professionals under thoses occupation are more than enough.

PS please read the rule and regulation of the forum. posting to various thread of the same question is not allowed.

@adamalaluan Hi, sa CAANZ ako nagpa-assess and submitted only a course description. Nasa TOR na din naman kasi yung complete list of subjects taken. Just make sure that the course codes and names on both documents are parallel so CAANZ won't have any questions.

adamalaluan · October 2016

@mrkanncpa how long did the assessment take?

mrkanncpa · October 2016

@adamalaluan 10 days for the skills assessment in my case. That count includes weekends. My employment assessment was another story, as I had to file an appeal.

hi everyone!

i'm helping a friend file for CPAA assessment. i went through another process (ACS) so I'm not familiar on what needs to be done for migration. any links that can help us with the step by step process and if possible, sample documents?

thank you

hi @pink sana, if may mabigay kang sample patingin pls. may mapping ka rin ba ng mg subjects na sample. sana magbigay ang alma mater (ateneo) ko ng syllabus. If meron dito na same school pashare pls. salamat ng marami. Tanong lang din sa registrar ba magrequest non or sa department mismo ng mga syallbus? Im trying my best na makapagpasses by december. salamat ng marami

@chichan she can read from CPAA website directly. Their procedure is very straightforward. Documents needed are also mentioned there. just drop some question here if in case some are not clear.
