Not sure the MBA would be sufficient for assessment against accountancy requirements. Bearing in mind the level MBA courses cover finance.

Out of interest where is Herriot-Watt? is it a distant course?

With only 3 years experience is not likely to have been partaken at a level to meet the other requirements? or are you excluding junior book level work from that 3 years?

I doubt it. What is your bachelors degree in?

Have you looked at the requirements for an accountant skill assessment?

You may be eligible for an assessment in a 50 point occupation (from Vetassess).

thanks for reply

I have actually 5 year working experience out of 3 years I worked as an Accounts Manager.

Yes Herriot -Watt is in scotland and they also provide the distant courses, I finished there course through London college of accountancy.

many thanks again

If you have adequately covered 9 out of the following 12 subject areas in your bachelors and masters courses, you have a reasonable chance of a positive assessment as an accountant.

Accounting Systems & Processes
Corporate Accounting & Reporting
Accounting Theory, Professional & Regulatory Processes
Cost & Management Accounting
Finance
Audit & Assurance
Legal Framework & Commercial Law
Corporate Law
Taxation Law
Information Systems Design & Development
Economics (micro & macro)
Quantitative Methods

If you have a shortfall of up to 3 subject areas, the assessing body may ask you to complete additional courses in Australia through distance learning. Check out the details here... http://www.charteredaccountants.com....ssessment_home
