Pretty much u get more into qualitative analysis which is more interesting to me such as the implications and application of financial accounting standards. You'd be surprised how quickly you can pick up 1a concepts just by working in professional accounting and not relying on a book or a fob.

Not sure what it's called now but it's the one where you have to do the journal entries for a hypothetical business and they give you receipts etc. Last I heard it was now done online rather than in a book. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The number of clients and partners who have referenced Shakespeare in everyday conversation and meetings always amazes me- and you'd look rather stupid if you can't think of anything to reply with. Even whilst I'm working in NY I've heard nunerous references to some of the less mainstream...

Lol I did so badly in this subject. Barely scraped through with the second lowest practice set mark in my tutorial. Lo and behold I'm an accountant now. And damnit I write kickass accounting paper and memos now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The stuff you do for HSC English has very little relevance to the real world in terms of careers and tertiary studies. But not knowing some of those texts will make you appear rather uncultured in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whilst his KPMG example is rather limited and flawed, khorne raises valid points. To the OP, what aspect of risk management exactly are you interested in? I work with people from both the qualitative side (eg Basel 3 implementation and how it impacts the banks, or just middle office areas...

Damn that is a long Wikipedia article for something which I assumed would be straightforward. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Groupings and even then it's more of a question of whether the person is decent or not in academic performance (for non IB/hardcore finance roles). That being said they will ask you why it took you so long to finish your degree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I had the 86 I'd probably just keep it simple at first with sound system and aesthetics (lip kit or wheels). Performance mods will generally improve over time in both range, features and availability with prices falling too. Short ram intakes or cold air intake will always sound fantastic...

Yes I bought the my12 c250 CDI (before it got COTY too). The sound isn't too bad but it obviously doesn't have te oomph of a turbo petrol or v8. Luckily it also has start stop so it turns engine off at traffic lights for nice peaceful motoring. Agreed about the options list but I find nowadays...

If I had known the new 335i was only going to be starting at $90kish then I may have considered (i.e. most likely would have gone for) that over my C250 CDI which was in the high $80's once I optioned it up. That being said, I'm still pretty happy driving a diesel Benz which to me felt like a...

I'd say at internship level it's unlikely to make much difference unless said person is either very senior (eg partner level) or influential in the recruitment process. Realistically it never hurts to have a good referral but be careful that they truly are a good referral as opposed to just...

Hi I moved your thread to a new one to make it clearer what you were looking for. I'd ask why you want to do a triple major in those three areas given that they don't have that much in common. The normal pair is accounting and finance, but I know some who benefitted from accounting and...

If you are planning to pursue a graduate role later on in life, then definitely use the time you have now to get involved in extra curricular activities whether it be within your school (e.g. clubs like debating society or mock trials, or interschool sports competitions, or even cadets) or...

For most accounting roles, you really only need to know the basics as to what you do and even then, at graduate level, it won't be much. If you choose to pursue a career in audit, financial reporting or accounting policy, then you obviously will need to know it in a lot more depth but typically...

Haha I said the exact same thing about my Civic, Evo and Benz.

Hey it's April Fools now! (I'm in NY so I'm actually being serious)

Ended up buying a 16gb black iPad 3 wifi today from Grand Central Station. I figured it'll keep me entertained on the 30 hours or so of flying I have coming up to get from here to Europe and back to Australia. Surprisingly Grand Central only had two models available- 16gb wifi black or 64gb 4g...
