Accountant

vhoythoy · October 2013

Sorry noob question para sigurado lang. Sa pagkuha ng course syllabus, ang kukunin mo ba yung syllabus ng year kung kailan ka ng nagaral till graduated (yung nasa transcript) mo or current syllabus ng course mo? Hehe

dapat yung sa year na nag-aral ka...

however this will not matter too much I guess IF parehas lang ang course description sa syllabus and sa transcript mo.

hi everyone, check ko lang po sana if anyone has tried or may kakilala kau na non-cpa sa pinas at na-grant ng visa lets say 175/176? im not sure kasi kung makakapasa ang mga non board passers, baka kasi magsayang lang ng panahon at pera.

salamat po

oo me classmate ako na hindi CPA pero accountant. Naka migrate as independent skilled malapit nang maging AU citizen ngayon.

Ilang years ago ito baka nagbago na rules?

hi @ricshei, madame ako kakilala na nde cpa pero na-approve. ang tinitingnan naman sa assessment e ung education at nde ung licence. don't know though if that has a bearing kasi wala namn use ang cpa licence natin dto sa australia.

ung isa kong kakilala, nag-aral ng Master of professional accounting dto Australia, nakapasa ng assessment with cpaa. banking and finance ang course nya sa Pinas. pr na sya nung June. ung processing time nya from lodgement to visa grant e 15days lang.

I think depende sa assessing body. In my case, yung assessment ko from CPA Australia is more on education. Kasi yung letter nila never mention about my CPA license. The letter only mentioned my accountancy degree.

Pero sa ibang assessing body, may bearing ang Philippine CPA license. Like sa case ko, nagpa-assess din ako sa Vet Assess, dun sa assessment letter, nilagay nila yung Phil CPA License ko as one factor why they gave me positive assessment.

@rollyn04, hi, I think kaya may bearing sa Vet Assess e dahil they are assessing internal audit occupation which need not be accounting graduate. what ba nominated occupation mo?

I think depende din talaga sa assesor na matapat. Strictly di nman mandatory talag cpa as long as your education and course syllabus is within their requirements and you have the relevant experiences. Cpa is ofcourse always a plus for the assesor decision on assessment.

If you think about it, vetassess should not put more weight on cpa as internal does not necessarily an accoutant/cpa's. If theres any cert that they will consider it should be the cia. Good thing that they consider cpa din tlaga.

rolly04 · October 2013

Nope, my nominated occupation in vet assess was not internal auditor.

renee · October 2013

hello po, can I ask po if may thread po dito discussing how to start preparing for the syllabus or subject descriptions before submitting to CPA Australia, at least as a guide. Thanks!

renee · October 2013

Which is better po magpa assess, cpaa or icaa?, thanks

pangrom0529 · October 2013

@renee, either one. the question is more on where do you want to see yourself as a member of. sa cpaa, normally, you will need to take 6 subjs, have a 3-yr work exp approved and complete both not exceeding 6yrs. while icaa has classroom lectures, group work and I don't know what else and how long. prestige wise, mas kaunti ang ca kaya mas in demand sila. but of course, madameng ibang factors to say kung alin ang mas maganda. kasi if you'll have your assessment with cpaa and decided later on to go for icaa, you'll pass the same process and documentation. so I suggest, think things over.

sa icaa, before may fast track processing but more expensive. don't know kung meron pa ngaun. Goodluck! sundan ang nilalaman ng puso at isipan. :-)

^^ based on my knowledge mas prestigious nga daw talaga ang chartered accountants. Eto lang din ang australian certification na recognised ng aicpa (us cpa) and considered a graduate degree based sa mga forums. CA is generally for public practice accountants while cpa is sa mga private/ commercial firms. Madali lang daw cpa australia based sa feedback ng mga kakilala ko and open book exam sya. The problems with certifications is maintenance since mahal ang annual fees and cpes. Usually nman ca/cpa ang hanap sa mga job ads. But If i have my way i will get ca over cpa australia.

rolly04 · November 2013

Thanks be to God!

Just received an email from CPA Australia, i was admitted as a full-fledged member (CPA Australia designation). No more further studies or exams required. Yahoo.

Sana makatulong ito sa job hunting ko six months from now.

Bye bye Singapore, see you Melbourne in April/May 2014.

Hi Rolly,

Congratulations! Can you share what other pertinent docs you submitted to qualify as CPA? Did you submit your Board Examination Grades result?

We have received an e-mail from CPAA na pinadala na yung skilled migration assessment (sana po Lord positive). Kung positive kasi baka magpa-assess na rin for membership. Basically sinubmit namin lahat except for Board Examination Grades.

Side Q - may mga nagsubmit na ba ng EOI dito withour receiving the actual migration assessment letter?

Maraming Salamat!

The syllabus is the most important part if you want to be assessed for CPA Membership; so having said that, since nasa kanila na docs mo I think kailangan mo nalang magbayad mo assessment.

My wife did not submit her board exam grades!

I guess you cannot submit an EOI without receiving the actual migration assessment as you need to provide kasi the unique reference sa skills assessment mo eh. I think this can only be found in the actual assessment result doc.

Congratulations @rolly04! Yeah, I hope it can indeed help...

All the best, meanwhile eat as many chicken rice as you can!!

See you in Melby!

rolly04 · November 2013

@mitchy_cpa tama si @TasBurrfoot. Concentrate lang sa syllabus.

No harm in submitting the PRC mark sheet though, which i did.

@TasBurrfoot yes eat lang ng eat ng chicken rice, mamimiss ko ito.

staycool · November 2013

just had my positive assessment for my PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT of CPAA...next, the CPA Program sibjects and exams (when I have the money for it)

pangrom0529 · November 2013

hi @staycool, nasa Aus knb?

mitchy_cpa · November 2013

Hi

We received a scanned copy of the actual report from CPAA via e-mail, and thank you Lord and favorable assessment! Hardcopy to follow via post.

Mandatory Completed 4/4
Optional Completed 8/8
Minimum Core Knowlege area 12/12
IELTS - Met

One question, it did not say anything about whether or not we have met the work experience? Should I go back to them?

Maraming Salamat mga Kabayan!

renee · November 2013

Hello po, ask ko lang sana kung may required format ang syllabus o course description na isusubmit sa CPAA? Maraming salamat sa reply.

mitchy_cpa · November 2013

@renee wala namang specific na format. Humingi lang kami ng copy ng syllabus sa school and then pinass lang namin as it is sa CPAA.

pangrom0529 · November 2013

@mitchy_cpa, scanned copy of work assessment will come probably in one or two days.

mitchy_cpa · November 2013

@pangrom0529

thanks! inisip ko kasi kung i-complete ko na ba yung EOI ko since yung next na cut-off ng invitation is November 18. But, I guess it's best to wait. Natatakot akong mag-over claim sa points sa work experience.

lle · November 2013

hello po. Nabasa ko yung ibang msgs dito at nagkaroon ako ng idea pano maging CPA sa Australia. Ano po bang kailangan i consider sa pagpili ng assessing authority (CPAA/IPA/ACAA)? Mostly nakikita ko CPAA nag pa assess. Thanks in advance

mitchy_cpa · November 2013

@lle hi lle basically wala naman kaming ni-consider for chosing CPAA. Their required documents are more or less inline on what we have. From what i have heard mas prestigous kung CA ka, so if you plan to be a CA better mag-paassess ka sa ACAA para isang trabaho na lang.

lle · November 2013

hi mitchy_cpa. thanks for the info.

) nagwowork ako sa auditing firm ngayon for almost a year palang. iniisip ko po kung meron bang impact to sa result ng assessment? hehe

sa skills assessment per se wala as it will just assess your syllabus; but definitely this will have an effect sa work experience being claimed mo...

lle · November 2013

thanks TasBurrfoot. pwede ko na palang iwan ang auditing firm at lumipat sa private hehe out of curiosity lang po, madali lang po ba kayong nakakita ng work sa Melbourne?
