I dont think its an issue as long as naka-mention ang complete JD mo and name ng company you're working with. Supporting documents are listed in CPAA website. Review them.

“Thank you for reaching out.
Please note, we are currently experiencing a higher than usual level of applications, this has unfortunately extended our wait time to 40-50 business days (excluding weekends and public holidays). This is counted from the day we last received documents from you, which was on 28/02/2023 (35 business days today).”

May deadline ka bang hinahabol? Just in case, you can follow them up by showing proof na may deadline ka.
Yung sakin, I submitted mine to CPAA last March 20 then got the results by April 14. Total of 17 business days (ni-less ko weekends and holidays nila doon). Nagsubmit kasi ako letter from my AU employer na nagsasabing may deadline kaming hinahabol so baka ma-speed up process. Not sure if nakatulong yun and yung complete docs ko (kasi di nila ako binalikan asking for any additional). So baka it would help on your case too.

Yung sakin, nirequest ko yung mga major subjects na related lang sa Accounting, Tax, Economics, and Business. Meron sa website ng CPAA kung anong mga subjects yung parang accredited nila, so lahat ng related dun yun ang hingin mo

Thank you so much po. Kailangan ko na po bang magsign up agad at magbayad sa CPAA kahit di pa okay yung mga documents?
Joined: Sep 11, 2022
Hmmm, I think mas okay if tsaka na pag complete na documents mo. Either way, magsstart naman ang waiting time mo from the time na magsubmit ka sa kanila ng completed requirements eh.

Magandang araw po mga kabayan! Kaka-grant ko lang po last month ng 189 visa pero Engr kasi ako. May kapatid ko kasi akong gagraduate next year ng Accountancy naman. Itatanong ko lang po sana kung yung CPAA Skills Assessment eh uubra na galing sa Undergraduate Projects or OJT o dapat po ba purely galing sa skilled related work experience? Sa EA po kasi pwede kami magpasa ng galing sa undergraduate thesis projects. Baka lang po may makatulong sakin san ako dapat magbasa-basa para matulungan ko po kapatid ko as early as now. Pero magbackread din po ako sa thread na ito. Salamat po.

Hello, CPAA skill assessment normally comes into two parts: 1. assess yung bachelors degree if qualified yung studies and degree matches sa mga qualifications for the elected ANZSCO code and 2. skill experience assessment if you want to claim points on work experiences. Normally, yun pong mga undegraduate OJT wont be considered as work experience kasi it has to match yung specific requirement nila like it has to be full time, yung working hours, yung pay plus it needs to happen after yung degree. You can start exploring links below as well -- there are 3 assessing body for accountants.

Yes, madami talaga requirements. Umabot halos ng 300 pages yung akin nung nagsubmit ako hehe. Not sure about your question pero just to give you an idea, nababasa ko sa mga groups dati na there are quite a few people with EA background pero nagpa-assess pa din sa general accountant. Logically speaking daw kasi, if auditor ka, alam mo na how general accounting works to perform your job. Mas technical lang talaga pagiging EA 😊
