awesome answers. however, heard there are development plans for Lot F as well. at that time, we will all be so stressed up looking for parking XD

i take it as you are a static staff in office i.e. Tax/Firm services? Correct me if I'm wrong, but RM1 only for the first 6 hours or something right? You'll need to repark your car after that?

LOL Thanatos. I'll let you park outside my hse and have a 5 mins walk to KPMG and/or DELOITTE tower LOL.

he's a 1988-er. Younger than most of us

awww you have the hots for him? come to PwC then. i'll even guide you to his favourite workstation in the office

hmm usually we'd report under Section 9(3) and either Regulations 12 or 12A. gonna switch to 12A soon, pain in the arse



haha FRS201. well we'll need to welcome IFRIC 15 in 3 days time. so better get prepared for the Dec year end clients.

MYS = Malaysia

definately, gotta share some of your associates with my industry as well

second that. just make sure u guys didnt work till 2-3am the previous night before. else action pack will become zombie pack LOL



Depends a lot on the standard of living i.e. what Topace mentioned, but I roughly estimate that its about RM300 lower than KL (assuming I'm taking my firm for example)

In terms of promotion, I'd say it won't be as bright as KL though. Simply because smaller regional offices have limited jobs and thus the requirement for e.g. seniors & AMs/ESs will be limited to a few position (maybe 1-2?) as compared to the HQ offices. Also do note that due to the slower progression, it is likely that the person that joined before you will get the promotion, possibly due to the longer time frame and audit knowledge/experience that they have in the regional office

geez. what is wrong with you people? you think they read from a script or something? wake up!!!! there is nothing that you can prepare yourself for the interview questions, the only way is to be spontaneous. e.g. like my interview, all the interviewer asked was all about my study life in UK. not the standard FRS questions yadda yadda yadda.

now imagine if you have went to the interview single mindedly prepared for FRS questions, won't you be caught off-guard? im not saying there are NO FRS questions, but i think the best preparation for you is just to relax and approach the interview with a free mind, i.e. not be bogged down with all the preparations etc.

as i've mentioned before in the earlier postings, there are no tips that we can give you, to prepare for the interview.
only thing is, you have to be impromptu and think fast (as thanatos mentioned), most of the time its not really how right is your answer, but rather how convincing and how good you are at presenting your answer.

having said so, that was my interviewer which did not touch on standards or anything theoratical. maybe you'd do well in reading up some of the hot and upcoming standards, just in case.

well if you come out from the main entrance, you will be able to see the Sooka Sentral food court. If you see it, means you are at the right place.

cross the pedestrian crossing, turn to your right and follow along the walkway, all the way to your end. cross another pedestrian crossing and walla, you've reached 1 Sentral.

a sanity check, when you're almost to the end of the walkway, Maxis's building should be on your left

ps: anything just pm thanatosswiftfire, he's working in PwC

first of all, if you want to work for PwC, better be sure about the spelling.

secondly, yes these are considered several sections that new associates do start with. however, no one is stopping you with your own initiative of asking your senior 'can I try and do other sections?'. its all about your initiative, if you don't speak up, then you just can't put the blame on your senior for assiging you such tasks.

hope that dua sen helps

hmm what i had in mind was not as far as deferred tax, maybe on receivables, payables and income statement (of course in addition to cash & bank and ppe). these are more than enough challenge for a new joiner (at least i did find it challenging in my first year LoL).

of course, when you do other sections u need to also do the assumed junior sections. that's when you can prove yourself to be able to handle the job requirements :|

haha, am in your shoes. but from experience wise, if you can handle one shit job, you're naturally assumed to be an expert in shitty jobs and hence going foward, you're being thrown more shit jobs. LoL. time to sit back and relax

honestly speaking, to qualify a set of account is also not that easy. there are many more qualitative factors to consider as well.

TOC fail, you can still sign off an unqualified opinion, with issuance of ICM and attached together with your report to the BOD/AC

no choice then. close off the file yourself. sometimes your manager will appreciate if you can lay out some routes to take, rather than just going to them and ask what should you do? works for me though, was a good advice from my senior manager

I think 19th November is a lil bit too late, as if I'm not mistaken, the new Dec batch commencement date is on the 1st of Dec. By right, you could've applied first and just let them know what you will be sitting for your last paper at the end of Oct, probably furnish them with your semester grades up-to-date for their evaluation.

Its quite hard to tell if your grades made it or not, quite judgmental I'd say. There's a lot more factors that they will consider when they process your application, e.g. extra-curicular activities, achievements/contributions to society etc...hence I believe it is not purely on your results alone.

ps: just fyi, i had a unimate who had a 1st class honours and still screwed up her interview at the end, so yeah.

Hope the 2 cents help

which part are you coming from? if you're coming from the bangsar area, u would need to make a right turn underneath the newly constructed flyover and head on straight to brickfields. keep going straight until you pass a post office on your left (keep to your left cause the road is divided into left and right - one-way system at the moment). there will be a traffic light. go straight at the traffic light and further down you will see a row of shopoffices. go further a bit and u'll see a bus stop. right after the bus stop, there's your entrance to the Lot F parking.

errr....PwC is in KL Sentral my friend. come out from the CAT Terminal and you shall see Sooka Sentral. Cross the road and keep walking straight to the end and you'll see 1 Sentral building.

Stop at KL Sentral and walk

I think you have already answered your own question.

mostly its 5 days study leave and a day off for the actual exam day, for ACCA.

hmm given a laptop with my user set as admin
