The collapse of Enron was caused by "creative accounting"...so in that respect...

Mmm, yes I'm in TCE - client locations vary. A lot of clients we audit are based out at North Ryde, but most are within the Sydney CBD. As for the most convenient uni, I'd say UTS or Macquarie, if you're coming to TCE

Mmm, you don't really have to memorise cases as such, more the concepts. Tax is open book exam, you get case lists to take in the exam for a couple of the other subjects too.

You may be surprised, but those in audit, during busy season and depending on the client, may work hours such as 8:45am-Midnight for a couple of days to a couple of weeks. (A couple of colleagues in my division have had the displeasure of such nights)

Tee hee, that'll cause some angst at EY.

Biz Law is highly recommended if you have any remote interest in Law, and if you pursue CA/CPA studies in future, as seremify said. I did a Biz Law co major with Accounting, and looking back on the past 3 years, the most I learnt and can still recall now are topics from Biz Law subjects. It's...

You only charge hours to clients when your doing client related work I guess. On that note, I had one "photocopying day" a couple of weeks ago, which cost the client I was working for $900 (my chargeout for that day). It just seems ludicrous at face value.

It's as if other things are falling into our favour as well (such as injuries to the big clubs, and them losing to lowly teams). If we can capitalise, and win our last three games, then we could well be on the way. If the current ladder remains the same at the end of Rd22, could be a sense of...

The client I'm working at now (Westfield), all their accountants work on a floor that's named "Finance Operations"

I doubt many of us (working at any Big4) care all that much, unless your a Senior Manager/Partner, about growth and revenue.

Well obviously they wont hire you if you're uninterested in what you'll be doing. But then again, they do realise the reality that many people leave after gaining their CA (most at Senior or Manager level after about 5 years).

Mmm, you don't really need much technical expertise in audit, but you do need good people skills (lots of client interaction), a level head (to stand your ground with stubborn clients), and I guess sound logic (to realise why certain things are recorded and if its appropriate)

Re: Lost - Discuss Future Episodes Here! More like Feb in Australia =/ Can't wait for season 3 though, I wanna bloody well know what the hell happened to the two people in the hatch, when that "incident" occured in the season finale

You want to do a CPA and not do an Accounting major at uni? You know it'd actually make doing the CPA much easier with a university major in accounting. For those interested - I work in audit, and believe me, you'll still need your basic accounting knowledge from first year. The seniors expect...

He was quiet...I guess Port paid a bit of attention to him whereas Richmond didn't really. Interesting thing about next weekend...Swans are 6th, playing Essendon. Collingwood (5th) against Adelaide, and St Kilda (4th) against West Coast. If Sydney win (comfortably), and both the Pies and...

You're lucky - the client I'm at this week is quite small, and there are so many little problems with certain accounts but the chief accountant has absolutely no idea...apparently they even lost their folder with all of this year's bank reconcilliations...my senior manager even told us "omg how...

? You need to do these courses for CA: ACCT1501 Accounting & Financial Management 1A ACCT1511 Accounting & Financial Management 1B ACCT2542 Corporate Financial Reporting and Analysis ACCT3563 Issues in Financial Reporting and Analysis ACCT2522 Management Accounting: Process Improvement and...

Had a divisional meeting at EY today, and they revealed the latest salary brackets to us. It was interesting to note that the average partner remuneration at EY is $700,000 a year.

You can - and its even better if you double major in Accounting and Business Law/Finance, as you'd have more options to choose from

My salary this is on the high end of their range for their External Audit Graduates, which should be expected from a Big4
