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.

more feedback is more than welcome!!!!

playing it smart once I get the green light I will do my CPA or ICAA. Furthermore will be applying under the 489 subclass where experience is really not mandatory so far I have 65 points hoping for a positive outcome fingers crossed:)

Hi I have recently submitted my application for Skills assessment. I am a full member of the ACCA although I was exempted only for stage one as I had completed my Certified Accounting Technician Exams (CAT) all of which is clearly indicated in my transcripts. I am worried about my chances of getting a positive assessment. Please share your views with me as well as those who were in a similar postion as I am and got a positive assessment. Kind Regards, wsdt
