It's a bit of an industry joke- but it seems all the best rogue traders were those who had intricate knowledge of back and mid office, and how to take advantage of this to conceal their activity. Nick knew how to hide positions in the accounting records from the auditors and the other guy knew...
Interesting point- my only observation on this is that the focus, mentality, risk aversion, focus on compliance and strict adherence to rules/procedure, etc... is very different between back office and front office.

That being said I would be interested to hear Newbie's POV on this.
When I said the marketing has been effective, I was referring that you are very pro BAcc for all the wrong reasons. If you had wanted BAcc because it gives you a close knit social group/network, opportunities to work in three different but related fields, and you also receive scholarship money...
If you earn above the tax free threshold in a single financial year, you pay tax. $15k p/a vs. $30-35k p/a whilst working and $8-10k p/a when not working (which in theory would also be tax free then). Even after tax and super is deducted, guess which one will be ahead. Note: I do not think money...

when ML comes out i plan to format my MBA though. should be fun.
lol way to wing it :) if its anything like when i did it, focus session solutions don't change substantially between years but you need to read it carefully before rolling it forward.
It was great meeting everyone today. Apologies I couldn't stay longer but it looked like a great productive meet, and the feedback I heard from the staff of Parramatta Library seemed extremely positive. Props to carrotsticks for organising this, and the various presenters and uni students who...
What did you say in your interview to give them that impression? As a trainee/cadet applicant I don't think anyone expects you to know much about anything other than the role which auditors play in society and how we are an independent party providing a degree of comfort (i.e. lending our...
