Based on official sources: Current skilled occupation instrument221111 Accountant (General)
Use this code where the core work prepares and reports financial information, advises on accounting systems and financial matters, and is not better classified as management, taxation or audit work. A broad “accountant” title does not decide the code.
221112 and 221113
Management Accountant 221112 focuses on management reporting, budgeting, performance and decision support inside an organisation. Taxation Accountant 221113 focuses on taxation reporting and advice. The course subjects and employment duties must support the selected specialisation.
Which accounting occupation gets invited fastest?
Pick your occupation to compare tier, competition pressure and invitation volume across accounting codes.
221213 and 221214
External Auditor 221213 independently examines client financial records and controls. Internal Auditor 221214 evaluates risk, controls, governance and compliance inside or for an organisation. Internal Auditor has a different assessing authority: VETASSESS, not the three accounting bodies.
Assessing authorities
CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, and the Institute of Public Accountants are specified for 221111, 221112, 221113 and 221213. Applicants should compare current accreditation, qualification, subject and English rules before selecting one. VETASSESS controls the evidence criteria for 221214.

Visa eligibility is a second check
The current occupation instrument includes these codes on the MLTSSL, but a positive assessment does not guarantee a 189 invitation or state nomination. Verify the list at the relevant date, points, age, English, EOI evidence and any state or employer criteria. Historical invitation scores are not a guaranteed future cut-off.

Use the verified rules above as the starting point, then test the dates, evidence and points that apply to your profile with NovenAI. A calculator or estimate is not an invitation, nomination or visa decision.
