Looking at their competency areas, I thinkthe BSc. Degree covers them. Will send my syllabus to CPA for the assessment. Thank you for your reaponse.

Thanks again! Regarding working as an accountant, getting a local qualification was on the cards for my husband but ACCA signed an agreement with CPA Australia which will give ACCA members with 5 yrs of experience CPA membership. That seemed to have solved that particular problem So we'll go ahead with the application and hope for the best!

Thanks for the confirmation. And yes, you're right, finding a job with no work experience would be difficult. That's exactly what I wanted to know, will this particular fact affect my application negatively? Because initially my husband would have applied and he has 5 years total (3 yrs PQE) but after the language test result, we were thinking of switching the primary applicant to me as it would give us more points.

Again, the website says that skilled employment assessment is optional. From this I understand that employment is not compulsory. Here's what the website says: Skilled employment assessment CPA Australia’s assessment of your work history can be used to claim points for skilled employment. This is an optional component to the general skills assessment.

Here's what the CPA website says one needs to get a positive assessment from them Skills assessment criteria To receive a positive result for your chosen Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) code, you will need: a qualification that is assessed by CPA Australia as equivalent to at least an Australian Bachelor degree to have successfully studied all mandatory competency areas that are relevant to your chosen ANZSCO code to have met the English proficiency requirement

Yes, my husband has ACCA and MBA and I have a BSc. In accounting and finance so I'll submit my syllabus and hopefully they'll assess to have covered their competency areas.

I'm getting my qualification assessed by CPA australia and they don't require work experience. So I'm hoping to get a positive assessment on that. What I actually wanted to know was if having no work experience would later affect the application or having higher points would be sufficient?

Hi all, I'm kind of in a fix; my husband and I were planning to apply for 189 with him as the primary applicant and me as the dependent. Now that we got our TOEFL iBT results, things have changed a bit. I got 118 on the test which means I can claim 20 points for language. If my husband is primary applicant we get to claim 65 points Age:30 Qualification [ACCA & MBA]:15 Language: 10 Partner skill:5 Work Experience:5 If I am the primary applicant we get 70 points Age:30 Qualification (Bachelors):15 Language: 20 Partner skill:5 Work Experience:0 So now I have three questions; 1. I don't have any work experience ever since I finished my BSc.in 2013. Will that negatively affect our application despite the fact we have more points? 2. Is it going to hurt my husband's chances of securing a job once we get there or would I, being the primary applicant, have to get a job first for him to be able to work? 3. I'm planning to get my Bsc.(hons) (A 4 year degree in Accounting and Finance) assessed by CPA for general accountant category, anyone who has faced issues with assessment based on only a Bsc. degree because most people have an accounting qualification (ACCA, CA etc.) Hoping to get a response soon

Hi, I know these questions have been asked multiple times, but please help me out anyway I'm a fully qualified ACCA member with 3 years of PQE, BSc. Hons from Oxford Brookes University and I also hold an MBA in Finance from University of Wales. I'm going for a skills assessment with CPAA. So my questions are: 1. Considering the new requirements of Economics and Quantitative methods, an assessment for General Accountant should not be affected since I'm a fully qualified member, right? 2. The CPAA website asked for scanned copies of original documents to be attached with the online application, do these original documents need to be attested or certified? Thanks a lot!

It's an MBA Finance. Got it almost simultaneously with ACCA so not much difference there.

Hi, I have quite a few questions, so here goes: 1. For someone who is an ACCA member with 2-3 years of PQE but also has an MBA from University of Wales, for qualification and skills assessment should I go for ACCA or MBA or both? 2. Which one is recommended for the assessment? CPA or ICAA? 3. Having experience as a Finance manager, should I choose the General Accountant category or Finance Manager? Hoping to get some clarification
