hi ....
there r some question i would like 2 ask to all those sifu here

izit all the audit/tax job offer in big 4 must hv those accounting degree??
any other course graduate can apply for the same post??
as in like finance and economic degree graduate can apply for the job??
will the paid will b same for same fresh grad but diff courses??

actually i'm a economic graduate
quite interested into audit/tax job....
but i hv doubt in term of knowledge compare 2 accounting graduate...
will it make alot of diff in term of diff courses??

thx in adv ^^

if u are fresh graduate and applying for audit..u should apply for audit assistant..or also known as audit associate    from what i understand, senior are those with at least 2 years of audit experience ...hope it helps    ..the hierarchy is such that assistant (being the lowest rank) < seniors < manager < partners

and for the pay range...way back in april, the HR personnel (from KPMG) told me the pay is about RM2240....but big 4 has revised the pay ......and IF im not mistaken they are offering 2.3k-2.5k...  can anyone confirm with this?

Training? Ya right. It's actually more of a know-your-batchmates session.
Existing staff think its a waste of time doing this on freshies (who will be happy to work anyway) when it should be conducted on existing, overworked staff.

Guys I just graduate with degree in accountancy, just started working in bank (corporate banking dept) for the past 3month, but I dislike my job here coz generally it involve financial analysis, comment here and there (no accounting/calculation job) and actually I’m blur in this finance field, banks product and so on. I’m thinking to join big4 in audit field…but I’m afraid that I dun have much audit experience, b4 dis I went for practical training in small audit firm for 6 month and work part time after graduate for 1 month +, but I feel that the experience n skill I acquired in small audit firm is not that much...u know la most of the company is just SME company…cheat here and there…and I’ve been thinking to join audit firm back and want to join big firm perhaps pwc or ey…what do u guys think? should I go back to audit firm or just stick working at bank…

In terms of staff benefit I believe the Bank are much more better like medical and much much more…just want to know if im a guy and married, do big4 cover my wife and kids medical also?

I've just graduated and obtained Bachelor of Business Degree majoring in Accounting& Finance
Well i'm intrested in audit field and there is few question that i need to ask those ppl that is working if big 4 now.
What are my chances of me getting the job in big 4?I'm quite worried  
My marks are not that impressive just credits and pass all over the place

hello there...

i heard that some rumour that KPMG is having Pay Cut. Can any1 confirm this?

i guess, having pay cut is much better than retrenchment.

This is a bad time to work in the Big 4. Recruitment may be reduced, which would mean the existing staff would be working on more engagements than usual to cut cost. More late nights trying to finish up work before the deadline.

Seems to be getting worse already. I heard some departments will start to request staff to go on compulsory leave if they are non-chargeable for too long.

Recession Is Striking Hard On Da Commercial Sectors
Many Seniors fr Audit Line Couldnt Land A Job In Commercials..
If Nobody Leave Da Audit Firms...
There Isn't Need For Many Replacements...
And Thus, It's Hard To Land A Job in PwC & EY & KPMG & Deloitte Now~

Especially now during off peak, I don't think they will recruit any more people for the time being..

thought it is peak until June?

HDA = Housing Development account, everyone who audit PDD will know why this area is such a headache.

Peak normally on Feb (announcement), Apr (submission) and June (group). Technically nothing much happens from July to Sept unless you have a client with such year end on such date. There are a few big company in malaysia with june year end so depends on your luck lo but most on Dec.

Try EY's Maybank. YE in June
Try PwC's Sime Darby. YE in June also.
