Normally are they willing to reschedule to next interview session if I'm unable to make it and I did reply to inform in advance(immediately after getting the interview invitation email)?

I don't see why not, ACCA states "completing three years’ employment in an accounting or finance-related role(s)". Just like how some people do combination of tax and audit to make up the 3 years, or even commercial firm(approved) 1 year then move to audit firm 2 years make up total 3 years, as long its all under accounting or finance-related role(s) then it fulfil ACCA's requirements.

That's why sometimes I also quite curious and confuse on why some colleagues emphasise so much on 3 years and their subsequent plan to leave afterwards, I understand it if their justification is that they believe they can learn more in Public Accounting Firm rather than commercial corporate environment. But I can't understand it if their justification is that the 3 years experience must be gain in Public Accounting Firm only can get full ACCA membership that's why they can't leave sooner than 3 years.

Depends which medium firm and I guess depends on ur interview as well.

Some might not discount ur experience, some might discount 6 months, some even 1 year.

don't worry its not hard, just impossible to finish all question so just do as many as you can..

The normal(also depends on performance) progression/promotion is one level per year, so if u referring to Tier 1 senior then its about 3 years, tier 2 senior will be around 4 years.

Mind sharing ur source? reliable?

not difficult just wanna test how much can u do under time pressure.

Yes but of course will require a higher level approval. Cuz of not I don't see how staff are able to clear annual leave.

Quick tip, if u don't know where to start, study prior year or other sample working papers, an important thing to keep in mind while thinking how to start is think what is the objective ur work? most of the time is the audit assertions, then now think what kind of procedure u should perform, what kind of test u should do to obtain that assertion, most of the time these kind of thing is common sense and not at all very technical.

Hope this help

nearly 2 years exp alrdy, everytime apply Sg also no reply(except small Sg firm), guess really need connection to get better chance

Sooner or later, eventually wanna take the challenge of working in different environment outside M'sia so , must keep trying.

ah happy and relax times...

I remember those kind of ular days

admin job normally only available through vacancy so have to look out for it on job ads etc.

Definitely... The answer is obvious, why dwell in small firm when have opportunity to get better exposure in bigger more recognised firm?

No, since you're just fresh in small firm so that little experience equals no experience, so no benefit in telling that u already hired.

In China client can easily forge fake bank statement.

If you're interested to join them, why not?

Whats the size of ur current employer's firm?
Rule is only include if u think it add value to ur resume..

Audit firm always need people due to high turnover so just apply to any (if not all) of the audit firms and hope they like your resume.

I know that even some medium firm pays half month only for average performers
