judging from your academic, you will go far HOWEVER, not every top-ACCA student likes audit, one of my ex-colleague, Lai Kar Jun, was also from your uni, top ACCA student and EY Global winner, he quits after a year, now with accenture, quitting in Singapore is harder cause we are sort of like immigrants.. we rely on the Employment Pass.. damn mah fan, so before you wanna step into audit, i suggest you to work in Msia Big 4 first, so once you know you like this field then come over and join me n CTWAi!

ctwai... I busy these days all.. at client's place all the time... Singapura Finance

GUess wad... after i posted out a claim over this thread abt D had offered me but took quiet sometime to prepare the letter... I got called this noon requesting me to take my offer letter... Complaining in this thread makes my offer to be fast process.. 

This thread is spooky

ACCA shld be higher as it's under category of PROFESSIONAL. Degree just a normal degree. Don't be offended. As I know ACCA & CIMA is equal but ACCA more on Finance whereas CIMA more on management and costing.

I heard people said tat if someone join internship in one of the big4, once the fella grad, he has a better chance to re-enter the firm he join before?

And it could also be that you pissed off the key ppl and they don't want you back

People are talking about BDO here because BDO is the biggest of the next "Big 4" after EY, KPMG, PwC and DKC. There are some people who also feel that BDO is starting to move ahead of DKC. But that's up to your own perception. Do remember that BDO underwent a MAJOR recruitment drive getting partners and directors from KPMG as well as the partners and directors pulling their staff along.

renumeration, staff benefits and career progression-wise?

For a basic explanation, the higher the materiality level set, the less substantive testing will be conducted. More reliance will be placed on the controls.

This would also relate to a lower fees charged.

The Malaysian firms have no relationship with similar name firms from other countries. It's a partnership via afffiliation and not a subsidiary. Yes you resigned completely.

I heard PwC have an exchange programme last time not sure now.

It's peak period for Big4 and not so newbie and not so senior like me is stressup....

Yes. Since you know how one system works, basically you know what could go wrong.

It is like an accountant wanting to be an auditor, he/she has a higher chances of getting hired cause he/she knows where the figure are coming from.

Currently I am working in small firm for 1 week plus and now being called up by big 4 to attend interview. I need opinions on whether I shall tell the interviewer during the interview session that currently I am working. I am afraid that if I told them, they will think that I am a job hopper. So what shall I do?

Is that the trend in EY now? In the past I was interviewed by the HR Manager and second round was with the HR Director Soo Fern.

anyone else joining Deloitte tax dpt in feb? just received the offer today.. so wondering whether there's anybody else here who i might meet

hey guys, kpmg just called for an interview. any tips on what to expect and how to prepare? btw it's for the IT business advisory associate position (fresh grad)..

thanks in advance..
