The following Department of Immigration policy document explains why Accountants receive such a small number of invitations each program year.
Including at the end is the discussion that took place when the Department realised they had already invite too many people in this occupation for the 2017/18 Program year and had to halt invitations.

It is this document that allowed us to then write this report
https://iscah.com/wp_files/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Accountants-left-short-changed.pdf
Which we have sent so far to the CPA, Chartered Accountants of Australia, Immigration minister, Assistant Minister for Citizenship, Prime minister, and various media organisations. We have done this to show them the absurd unfairness of one occupation only being on 1.04% of the national workforce compared to every other occupation at 6%.
