do these duties match with accounting technician

[maddy908]

Hi ,

Need some guidance
My friend worked for about 3 years in her home country as an accounting clerk.She has been working in an NOC C job for last 1.5 year in canada on PGWP
She feels her home country experience duties match those of accounting technician which is an NOC B job. She has an undergraduate degree in accounting from her country of birth and post graduate certificate in business management obtained in Centennial, toronto..Also she has advanced intermediate knowledge of French along with advanced intermediate in English
These are the duties from her home country experience
 Verify completeness and accuracy in all sales reports from outlets
 Reconciliation of sales reports with sales mix and bank statement
 Reconciliation of credit cards, cash deposits and outstanding sales. Query with bank for non-reconciling items
 Generate sales listing for all outlets and export to ERP Software
 Post sales figures to the general ledger
 Post journal entries for redeemed gift vouchers, cash shortages and clear outstanding sales figures in the general ledger
 Post all stale cheques in the general ledger for month end reporting
 Enter accounts payable transactions and post to the system
 Prepare cheques for accontas payable transactions
 Reconcile vendor statements to company records and resolve reconciling items on time.
 Manage accounts receivable (AR) and post all AR transactions to the general ledger
 Perform monthly bank reconciliation, to be approved by the Finance Manager

and these are the accounting technician duties as per NOC code

• Accounting technicians and bookkeepers perform some or all of the following duties:
  • Keep financial records and establish, maintain and balance various accounts using manual and computerized bookkeeping systems
  • Post journal entries and reconcile accounts, prepare trial balance of books, maintain general ledgers and prepare financial statements
  • Calculate and prepare cheques for payrolls and for utility, tax and other bills
  • Complete and submit tax remittance forms, workers' compensation forms, pension contribution forms and other government documents
  • Prepare tax returns and perform other personal bookkeeping services
  • Prepare other statistical, financial and accounting reports.
• Employment requirements
  • Completion of secondary school is required.
  • Completion of a college program in accounting, bookkeeping or a related field
    or
    Completion of two years (first level) of a recognized professional accounting program (e.g., Chartered Accounting, Certified General Accounting)
    or
    Courses in accounting or bookkeeping combined with several years of experience as a financial or accounting clerk are required.

Do you think she should apply under accounting technician in FSW category even though her job title is accounting clerk and her current job is NOC C.

Thanks

Can't say about this precise example, but always go with the job duties and not the job titles.
