Hie,

I am waiting for my ACCA results but have started applying for opening as an audit associate. 2 optional paper remains.
A Fresh grad and no other qualification besides ACCA.

I would like to know if there is any audit firms, both big and medium size that have successfully recruited partially completed ACCA candidates as a full time staff while allowing them to pursue their qualification without any prior degree to fall back onto. If yes, any idea which firms?

Prior to this, i manage to clear all papers in a single sitting. Is this a plus point?

Thanks!

You dont have OBU yet? Or is it pending?

Dear TS, you are categorised under ACCA finalist student.

FYI, audit firms (Medium or Big 4) did hire finalist students.

If you yourself having an outstanding results, please apply big 4.

If average, you are encourage to apply medium firms.

but then for my knowledge, partial ACCA or finalist in ACCA, their pay is much lower, for ,my advice use your oxford brookes degree to apply, big 4 will hire u....

Well I wouldn't say low but definitely not as high as ACCA holder.
If you have a degree, your starting pay somehow fall in this range 2k-2.5k (depends on firm)

medium firm prefer to take acca finalist

FOR MY KNOWLEDGE, THOSE WITH OBU - RM2450
THOSE WITH ACCA RM2600
THIS IS BIG 5 RATE.
BDO IS MUCH HIGHER
HOWEVER, MEDIUM FIRM ARE MUCH LOWER
THOSE WITH DEGREE IS AROUND RM 1,800
THOSE WITH ACCA IS AROUND RM2,000

CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG....

Is true for Big 4 but no longer valid for other medium firms.

FYI, BDO is paying 2.8k for fresh graduate regardless they are ACCA holder, as long as a degree holder.

While other medium firm paying 2-2.2k for a degree holder. ACCA holder might get another 100-200 extra but it is all depends on the employers.

1.8k yes, but for those small or local medium firm

sorry
may i know how 2 apply bdo

You are always suggest to apply one step ahead =)

I did not op for the OBU program and attempted 2 optional papers in Dec 2010.
Thanks!

Do u know how was the interview in BDO?
Any transport can go there?I m not stay at KL, If i do not have any transport,Is it convenient to work at there?
Then how about EY?Is it convenient?

BDO is located at Jalan Sultan Ismail.
You can reach there by Star LRT, in other words it is convenient. (pls bear in mind that Audit has to travel frequently)
As for EY, it is located at Damansara. LRT couldn't reach there and the parking over there is costly. (as per EY friends)
Hope it helps =)

If you work in EY, you can take the Putra LRT to Bangsar station. The feeder bus stops right in front of EY office.

that mean I can walk to BDO after i take the star LRT?
For EY, is it there is the bus in bangsar station to EY office?What is d bus number?
Any others Firm that convient for me?how about bakertilly?horwath?
Thanks in advance!

It's a bus that goes from Bangsar station to Pusat Bandar Damansara. It's a feeder bus from the LRT station.

Do u mean that if I do not have my own transport, it is unconvenient for me to do the audit job?

without car, how you wanna leave your workplace after midnight?

This is Malaysia, if you don't have own transport its inconvinient to do anything LOL.

On a more serious note, it depends on your own resourcefulness. No car then take bus / taxi or arrange with a friend / colleague / family to pick you up.

How long for the duration?
