The second corporate restructuring is where a healthy group of companies intends to reorganize its group structure to achieve certain strategic intent (i.e., spin-off, prepare for IPO, tax efficiency) where the accounting firm is being engaged to provide them with different options available highlighting the respective pros and cons of the options. depending on the complexity of the group exercises, knowledge of consolidation accounting and tax knowledge is essential, as well as some aspect of the Companies Act. In this regard, auditing experience may seemed helpful but I doubt anyone with less than 3 years audit experience will have such level of exposure to provide any value to such exercise. Besides, I have manage to come by without one anyways.

I heard to get into business restructuring we need to have strong audit experience?
How about the salary? is it higher than audit? CFA needed?

Unfortunately, I can't differentiate between the interns and the auditors. But my colleague did say that there seems to be a lot of cuter girls around these days   

I'm stationed permanently at 9th 

Hey how come it's not beginning of sept that Pwc ask u to start work? But 16th? I wonder if I able to secure an interview after raya, dunno if can make it for sept intake?

sth to do with law i suppose? 

I find the internal audit of accounting firms seriously lacking depth. They don't really study the company and industry well before they come for audit. They can just drop in for one week and expect to come out with their findings/ improvements. Very often they don't have the time to check in-depth. The understanding of the company will be very shallow. And often all the inetrnal auditors do is to compare the companies practices with their own list of internal control best practice. But very often, their own list of best practices may not be applicable to the client company. Not every best practice is applicable in all situations. So, many of their recommendations in their draft internal audit report will usually end up being rebutted/rejected by the client. Thsi is not a good way of doing things.

Also, because internal auditors of accounting firms do not go in-depth to understand the operational aspects of the company, but mostly only do accounting related internal controls, they are usually unable to recommend something which the client company would find useful to improving the operations aspect of the company as well as the operational risks.

If you really want to excel in IA, you need to join several companies, of different industries first. If possible, don't join as IA, but as finance accountant or finance exec first. Then you really learn how other accountants do things in their respective companies. There you learn their internal controls and most importantly, find out how they do hanky-panky stuffs. It is these insights into how hanky-panky stuffs are done that you will be a good Internal Auditor to highlight these wrong doings later on, when you switch from accountant to internal audit later. My advice is to join as an accountant in various companies to gain these valuable insights first, then switch back to internal audit. If you don't have these insghts, but go directly into IA, you will not really be an excellent IA.
