I have some enquiries here :
1) Will employer asked about ACCA results in detail, means beyond passing only ? (ie : have you failed any paper b4 or not, any high marks)
2) Will they tolerate students whom had failed before ?
3) Assuming you did get high marks is it bcos of > 2nd sitting on same paper ?

Are there many of this kind of prospective empoyer in Malaysia ?
Which student is considered inferior : the one who had never failed or the one with higher aggregate mark ?
What kind of questions do firms like Big4 asked when they interviewed fresh graduates ?

For lecturer post, they might wan to see your marks .....

you are seriously sick. how could you get 73 for P4? OMG...you are my idol!!

i went for mr michael for p4 and mr goh for p7 at sunway. Though i think most ppl will agree outside lecturers are better, i guess i had to make do with what i had. XD

congratz man. so r u working now?

i dun think so~
As u can see at Jobstreet or JobsDB, accountant is still the job that have the highest vacation.
But the problem is just the fresh graduate expect a high salary job and as a result can't get a job.

not yet working. but soon. anyway, the pass rates are quite surprising, but generally in line with what i felt was acca's attempt to 'prune' m'sian passrates.

Everyone is an accountant can be many derivations :
1) Fresh accountant with diploma, LCCI or CAT
2) Fresh accountant with degree
3) Fresh accountant with ACCA, CIMA or CPA
4) Chartered / certified accountant with relevant 3 years experience qualified under MIA
5) Accountants with more than 6 / 7 years experience with degree / qualifications
6) Accountants / auditors who has worked under PLC or Big 4 firms.

Furthermore very few accountants wish to remain in the same post forever & the competent few would eventually rise above the hierarchy chain.
They normally won't be called as accountant anymore = directors, managers, chief accountant, key executives....etc.
For 1, 2 & 3 the supply is more than the demand
For 4 it is the standard requirement in Malaysia
5 & 6 are in very high demand but also dependant on the age of applicant & remuneration demand.

The degree or qualification will just serve as an "entry" level for the occupation only. To progress it requires something more :
= people skills (EQ), capability & efficiency, know how to "sweet talk" your boss, networking ....etc.
As what Sun tzu had said, all warfares was based on deception (that also applies to working life & business)

Nah, Malaysia will soon face shortage of accountants as MOST of our accountants are lured to other countries because of the higher pay, Singapore to begin with.

Even small audit firms from UK are coming to Malaysia to seek for fresh grads

ya hor..uk also lack of auditor?

how to get this piece of information?>

thats unfortunate, as it clashes with michael mainwaring's IRC on the 8th to 10th nov. guess i'll have to attend chow chee yen's one instead.

That's good!

But how come the price so cheap? RM280 only? Last time the price was RM400 for 4 days.

For P6 student, I strongly recommend yours attend his revision class.

tax p6 at segi eh, how to sign up ar? i've got frens interested.

Very simple. Go to SEGI KL (Systematic), just paid tuition fee and get the receipt. No registration fees or admin fees need to pay for CKF class.

Ask your friend go to sign up ASAP cos CKF only run 1 class and I'm sure the class will full.

Alright, thanks. Will inform them.

Great to have bumped into this thread...

so many friends and family did advised not to take 3 papers in once for this coming sitting
but they're true also..
1.not enough $ to purchase
2.no time revise all
3.this is not kidding paper
