Hi guys
Been a lurker on the forums for a couple of years and thought it was now time to get involved having submitted my initial EOI to skill select last week.
Before I progress can I just say to the forum members that the level of information and advice I have found through these pages has been immense and anything I can do in return will never repay the debt I owe to all of you. It has been both heart warming and heart wrenching to follow the journeys of some of the more active posters and I hope I can offer something back once I have my own migration experience to share.
To the matter at hand. I need to have my skills assessed by one of the accounting bodies in Australia (chosen occupation is General Accountant) and I wanted to check if anyone had a similar experience.
I believe that my mix of academic and professional qualifications fulfills the relevant 'knowledge areas' but I am unsure as to whether the assessing authorities will allow me to use both academic and professional qualifications in my assessment?
For the record, I have an undergraduate degree in Economics (2000), a post-graduate diploma in IT (2001), an MBA (2011) and the advanced diploma in Management Accounts from CIMA (2012).
