今晨，由多家澳洲权威媒体发布的“会计将从移民列表上被移除”的消息在留学圈里掀起一阵轩然大波。
几小时后，艾博特政府发表声明，击破了关于2015-2016财年会计将从移民列表中去除的不实传闻。
这个虚假新闻造成了许多就读于会计系的国际学生的恐慌，然而，联合移民部长 Michaelia Cash的发言人表示，产业部最早也需到明年初才会正式对移民列表的内容递交建议。
参议员Cash将在审阅这些建议后，最终决定职业移民清单上的内容。
澳洲、新西兰特许会计协会及澳大利亚注册会计师协会一直热衷于保留会计在职业名单上。
悉尼科技大学会计讲师Amanda White表示：任何移除会计的行为都将对会计专业中高比例的海外生源造成重击。
她同样谈到：虽然一些国际学生选择留学澳大利亚后，依然可以回到祖国继续工作，但更多留学生选择就读于此的目的，都是希望最终迁移到澳大利亚，在本地找到工作。
White也认为，虽然特许会计师协会声称有短缺熟练的会计师，有趣的是，学生一直在抱怨很难找到工作。
澳洲、新西兰特许会计师协会和澳大利亚注册会计师协会认为当前的移民项缺乏弹性、过于狭隘，无法给商业带来确定性。
入境事务处和边境保护审查提交的一份报告中建议，与其不断添加和移除某些专业，不如实施一个参数模块以反映不足或过剩的职业技能。
参议员Cash的一位发言人说："今早对于会计将从现行移民职业清单中删除的报告是不正确的。
"在2015年，我们并没有打算从现行移民职业清单中删除会计。”
"移除或添加移民职业清单上的专业，也将遵循以往的正常程序"。
以下为新闻原文
THE Abbott government has denied reports that accounting hasbeen cut from the Department of Immigration’s list of skilled occupations for2015.
Internationalaccounting students were panicked today by incorrect reports the profession had beendropped from the immigration skilled occupation list, fearing they would belocked out of migrating and obtaining jobs in Australia once they hadqualified.
However,a spokesman for Assistant Immigration Minister Michaelia Cash said theDepartment of Industries was not due to make a recommendation on thecomposition of the skilled occupations list until early next year.
SenatorCash will make a final decision on the skilled occupations list after she receivesthat advice.
Peakaccounting bodies Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and CPAAustralia have been keen to retain accounting on the skilled occupations list.
Universityof Technology, Sydney accounting lecturer Amanda White said any decision todrop accounting would hit international student numbers, who were a largecomponent of accounting courses.
Shesaid while some international students chose to study in Australia so theycould take their skills back home, many did so with the hope of eventuallymigrating to Australia and finding jobs in the country.
DrWhite said while the peak accounting bodies had argued there was a shortage ofskilled accountants in Australia, anecdotally, students had been reporting thatit was tougher to find jobs.
CharteredAccountants Australia and New Zealand and CPA Australia have called for changesto the skilled migration program arguing it is inflexible, too narrowly focusedand does not allow certainty for business
In a submission to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s review ofskilled migration, the groups argue that instead of moving occupations on andoff the list as eligible to apply for migration, a sliding scale reflecting theundersupply or oversupply of skills should be implemented.
A spokesman for Senator Cash said: “The report this morning that the occupationof accountant is to be removed from the Skilled Occupation List is incorrect.
“Thereare no plans to remove accounting from the Skilled Occupation List for the 2015program year.
“Thereare processes in place to remove or add occupations to or from the SOL andthese procedures will be followed as per the usual practice.
