Yes, my first hope is that I get across on a sponsorship if I'm honest. I don't want to do another busy season in Ireland so I'm pretty set on going in November regardless. I may go on a WHV whilst waiting on the s189/190 to come through and just work temp jobs over there for the first while. I do see recruiters looking for audit seniors too on a regular basis so I guess that's an option. Is there an actual difference between auditor and accountant in how they see it? As in, if you get a 189/190 for auditing, can you only work in practice? Seems a bit strange to limit it that way considering it's the same collection of people.

Hey everyone, was having a look through this site and came about this thread! I'm a currently qualifying CA in Ireland working with the Big 4, will be fully qualified in October and on my merry way to Sydney (either by way of transfer through my company or on a WHV while I apply for the s189/190). The question I have, is can I not apply for this until I have completed my 3 years experience and officially become a CA or can I begin the process now? The reason being is I have done a masters in Accounting, so would have 65 points (possibly 70 if my experience in audit would count but probably won't until I'm actually qualified?) before this +5 points I see people mentioning here for NSW. I assume that I'd have to continue as an external auditor or is it possible to apply for the accountant aspect? Thanks everyone. Looking forward to using this site more in the coming year until I get over
