wsdt Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi I have successfully obtained my skills assessment from the ICAA and now in the process of submitting my EOI. I have a issue I applied for the Accountant general category but my current job profile is that of a Research/Financial Analyst at a stock brokering firm. My work is relatively closely related i have attached a few lines of my job description Review financial statements and analyze key variables such as revenue, costs, expenses and tax rates, gearing/debt for all companies under my coverage and assess the risks of Changes to external variables such as monetary and fiscal policy and sector/competitive developments Conducted quantitative analysis of financial data for the Preparation of single statement and three statement forecasts based on analysis. Non-financial information was also utilized where necessary to provide the necessary levers for forecasting purposes, and to justify assumptions Prepared quarterly reports on company earnings by comparing my expectations with actual performance. All material variances were given a reasonable explanation, whilst also making changes to strengthen assumptions of forecasts My agent says this should not be a problem because you have to do these activities you have to have a accountant's background and I should not have a issue with the 489 subclass visa... I want to know if there have been successful applicants who have had a similar issue your feed back is greatly appreciated. P.S I have 65 points without the work experience requirement.

I think it is a moot question. You don't need work experience for accountant skills assessment and indeed you already have that and you don't need the points as you already have 65. So don't claim any more and then your work experience is irrelevant. (PS If you did need work experience points and this is your *only* experience as an accountant, to be honest I would be concerned).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
