QUOTE(HBK-reloaded @ Jun 18 2008, 10:19 PM) i just want to enquire regarding the workload between audit and tax..between this 2,which is the most time that will be spend on.. im kinda consider both this two since they said that fresh entry they sometimes not encouraged to join in the corp.advisory department yet..and is the salary range equal between tax and audit?is the audit requires extensively travelling compare to tax?btw, since i dont have any knowlege in tax, (few during my tax paper,but kinda forget already since its been 2 years already passed in my acca exam)can i apply for the position? i want to find a position that maybe stay in the office,less travelling coz i still left with 1 acca paper..so dont wanna skip class yes, audit required extensive travelling. Tax most of the time is spend in office. workload for audit n tax. it's depend. Audit got it's own peak period and so does tax. Audit the peaks is start from Nov or Dec till June Tax peaks start from April onwards for the tax filling dateline. since u dun have experience, you need to start from below. for tax, importantly you need to show your great interest with tax during interview, then will be more chances u will be get hired. QUOTE(v86 @ Jun 18 2008, 10:29 PM) Hi all, business advisory i no experience, but i can tell you about audits. can anyone share with me their opinions regarding the benefits and drawbacks between business advisory dept and audit? personally, i love analysing companies, assessing their current situation and all, and love to come up with creative ideas of how to improve the co's performance in terms of financial and non-financial wise. However, i was told tht i would need to work for 5 years in order to gain the membership as compared to audit which is 3 years. What's the scope of work in audit actually? i'm planning to apply to the big 4 while waiting for results. any suggestions? from your post, what you prefer is more to advisory dept. audit = expressing true n fairness of the management account prepared by the accountant. in order to express the uun-qualify opinion, a lots of works need to be done. vouching, test of control, analitical review and a lots more. it's mostly on financial side, not much to operations. QUOTE(siaolang @ Jun 18 2008, 10:33 PM) I'm from finance background but I don't have accounting background (took just a few courses in accounting), I wonder can i join the Audit department in big 4? Are they going to provide training? as long as you have a degree in accounting or finance, i thinks you shd be qualify. preferable you have ACCA or other relevant professional degree. |

QUOTE(asiahost @ Jun 19 2008, 11:57 AM) You are welcome.. the call is coming if know people inside who hold high post, most chances will get call for interview. I guess it really depends on the staff in PWC and a little of your luck. Each application maybe varies. There are some which took a few days while other months. Apply many firms at a go and narrow down your choice when you get offers. Rather than waiting for a particular firm to reply you. As I mentioned earlier, a little bit of luck and depends on the staff. Maybe you are just lucky enough to be screen during the period. No offense. Good luck for the assessment. my ex-colleague's sister is manager inside, so my ex-coll able to join there without any problems... and his brother as well. |

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. |

QUOTE(Joshua836 @ May 10 2009, 03:15 PM) Do they have a preference for overseas university grads over local uni grads? especially top 5 UK unis grads, do they have like a list of most preferred grads or they are just simply indifferent? u thinks too much already. importantly is ur final result. 4flat or cgpa 3.5 above...In general, how much weight do they put in, in terms of Uni's reputation? and Do they stress more on your uni results and A-Level /STPM, less on your SPM ? |

QUOTE(csyn @ May 18 2009, 02:51 PM) anyone here working in BDO? i would like to know more about the environment and the culture coz i've heard not so good news bout them. i have an interview with them this thursday. QUOTE(kitty88 @ May 19 2009, 11:51 PM) I went for the interview with bdo recently. Basically, the interviewer will ask you to tell about yourself and then ask some questions related to yourself. It was a group interview and we are required to write an essay prior to the interview. So, try to 'market' yourself during the interview in order to impress the interviewer. oh... both of u same batch in interview??? Good luck to those attending the interview with bdo! |

QUOTE(chess_gal @ Sep 18 2009, 11:38 PM) Truth to be told, audit is one or maybe the only line, where everyone get promoted yearly unless of course like what Johnathan mentioned. Otherwise noone would want to stay on. some of my friends are intended to leave audit, but they cant get a good job in commercial given the current economic situation... Imagine the long working hours, heavy workload and intense pressure, gosh I am amazed I am still here after 3 years... Just checked my retain (Job Schedule), 5 ppl are serving notice in my department. Wonder when is my turn. 1 of my friend is planning to leave b4 the peak started, regardless whether found new job or not. To some, there are limits to individual... |
