Uh it's because I am partially qualified for ACCA already have another two more papers to become an affiliate and working an audit job would allow me to gain member status where as working as an analyst I may not be able to gain full membership? one of the PERs of ACCA is to have done a full statutory audit and having an audit job I think is the only way to fulfil that.

well I suppose most enter audits to gain few years of experience before applying for an analyst job. Its not that easy even to get an interview in investment banking for fresh grads afterall

Good day
Seantang

Nice to know you

I am new here and it is quite often to seen you always post some comment within the forum of job& street, especially more on here and the other. Can you guide me how to get into the good-environment firm in singapore( How about the big 4 in singapore and other well-know accounting firm)? if you don't mind, can I contact you personally by facebook? because right now I am desperately hope that I will be able to get the job in Singapore, despite I am going to graduate soon, but not later. And, generally, I have My CV sent to the firm through Job DB quite some days ago, and still not able to get any respond from them, will this consider be rejected by them ?

At last, hope someone is able to enlightening me through "dark water" dilemma, as chinese said.

Thanks you very much.

f i only have small amount (money) in hand, and i dont have pasport, what should i do to work in Singapore? i have some qualification like Diploma from UiTM. i dont care what type of work, whether factory or fastfood. as long i can start work there immediately.. i have experience in retail, parkson pavilion (supervisor), mymydin(manager), 99speedmart(manager), UOA (admin&finance). but i have some problem now, so i want to leave malaysia ( ) , work in singapore, doesnt matter what kind of work i'm not sure about agent because i heard a lot about scamming ( ) plus i dont know if they provide food+hostel

Hey guys, I'm having troubles in deciding what do on this matter. Any suggestions or advices are kindly appreciated.

I'm currently working in MAS at a FMCG company doing IT, and has been with the company for nearly 2 years ++.  Yesterday, a fren offer me a position for receiving/purchasing job in the Far East company(SG) but the job is not IT related. It's a whole new ball game already.

Please advise on what to consider, shud I go for it or shud I stay/remain at the current job?

Bro, still have other jobs. Casino or bar jobs should be the last choise for him.

care 2 share urs?

years experience and industry?

ahhh, that explains the increment... but bonus rather low dont you think? on the downstream or upstream?...

TO seantang, (sorry don't know how to use the quoting feature)i m currently under industrial training in the audit field. From my observation, the account departments performing the compliance role are all dead boring to me. Perhaps I'm just seeing a small boring part of their overall roles which may not paint the whole picture, since we only go in during their closing.

Audit feels ok, but nothing more than that. I agree with your point of view that no point spending 3 years in audit just to get an suboptimal experience or a membership, so I'm not really having the must breaking into auditing mindset after graduating, provided knowing what I want to do. now this is the hardest part

The thing is, the ordinary compliance and reporting roles really don't excite me. I'm more interested in decision making roles rather than compliance matters based on past data that do not add value that much.
(cost accounting maybe, but i m more interested in works about analyzing capital allocation and investment decision of a company than cost accounting)
Please advise me regarding the available routes and opportunities for my case, maybe even better explaining with your own experience (as from your former posts, I guess you have a lot of experiences in both of auditing and commercial environment that can give me some really useful advices.)

what? 1% a year? isnt it a little low?

take $10k for his basic, 1% is equals to 100 only, ain't that a bit too low for a person who is getting that pay?

yeah, i am assuming lets say his basic. give him high high basic la.
rm20k... 1% will be just how much? still low ma. hahahaha

I would like to address this to those in the accounting field who moved to Sg to work.

"Does your choice of accounting professional qualification make any difference in whether you got a job in Singapore?"

Indeed. Just sharing my dad's experience, he says that increments tend to slow down once you hit a certain age band, (especially if you aren't in a sufficiently senior role). Increments become less and are in exchange, and are given alternative forms of remuneration, he was given shares in the company's stocks (US listed co).
