Thank you for your responses Bungo and Makybe. That is what I am confused about. But the consultant was not very reliable. So if any one of you have already received a positive assessment in 2016 with no condition to clear Statistics and Economics then it is likely I will get it to. So it seems there is no other option then to score 8 in all modules in IELTS to bring up my points. I think I should apply for an assessment and meanwhile retake IELTS. Which one should I go for CAANZ or CPA? CAANZ recently formed an MOU with ACCA so would that be a better option? Since my experience will not be counted Will I only get a qualification assessment or a combined Skill and Qualification assessment? Regarding Migration Assessment we need to submit university handbook/course outline. Not sure what is meant here? Like a transcript? Thanks

Thank you for your response Makybe. May I ask what is naati? I am 25 yrs old so availing the highest points for age. I have an employer in Australia for whom I am handling accounts as an outsourced function here. He is willing to help out so I thought there might be a way for him to help out, other than issuing a work visa. I have already appeared for IELTS General and Academic. For General I Received 8 above in reading, speaking, listening but got screwed in writing at 7 so couldn't get 20 points there. How long does it take to get assessment from ICAA or CPAA? I consulted a lawyer in my country and he says I will get a positive assessment for education but I will still need to clear some Stats and economics course to qualify fully? So I am again confused here. Will there be such a requirement?

I also read somewhere in the posts here that CPA Australia considers experience after the 9 out of 12 papers are cleared. Seemed to good to be true.

Thank you guys for the prompt response. Are there any other ways to increase the points. Like having a job offer? or having someone sponsor from Australia something of that sort? What would be the criteria for these? I was thinking of going to go for a Masters in Oz but since accountants are flagged im afraid by the time im done studying accountants will be off the list and i will not be able to get a PR even then. What do you suggest?

Hello, I have been searching a lot but couldn't find answers so I decided to post a thread here. My Qualifications: ACCA Affiliate 2013 ACCA Member 2016 BSC in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes after writing thesis 2016 My questions: 1. Does this get me a positive assessment equivalent to a Bachelors degree? 2. Does the 3 year experience after becoming an Affiliate in 2013 till membership in 2016 will get me 5 points? Tricky questions coming up I am pretty sure they haven't come up before:) : 3. Along with a full time job (40 hours per week) I was working part-time as an accountant for another company (20 hours per week). question is: 1 year of full time job + 1 year of part time job (both going simultaneously) = 1.5 years OR ; 1 year of full time job + 1 year of part time job (both going simultaneously) = 1 year ? 4. Does working for 1 year remotely from another country to manage the accounts of an entity in Australia qualify me to get 5 points due to Australian employment? 5. Let's suppose all of the above do not work out I do not get any points for any experience, then currently I am stuck at 55 points. I can bring this up, by scoring an 8 in IELTS, to 65 points. Supposing my score is 65 points, how easy is it to get 5 points for state nomination? What are the likely chances of receiving an invitation at 65 or 65+5? Appreciate your help. I know the demand for accountants is tight so I just wanted to know before applying if it is worth spending time and money at this stage. Thanks
