Hi Seremify, it's been awhile since the last post. =) To update, I was promoted to Senior a month after the last post and completed my CA in early 2017. Fortunately I was able to leave my former employer back home earlier this year for an equivalent role by another Big 4 in Queensland. Was...

Thank you for your advice. I will look into it again if I still want to continue my career in auditing after attaining senior status and being admitted as a CA.

Hi seremify007, I am so glad you are the one who answered my questions. Really appreciate your comments because I need a lot more insights to align my expectations with the current audit market. In that case, would the Private Clients division / mid-tier / small firms be more accepting...

Hi all, I would like to know what are the job scope for Accountants/Analysts/Consultants in Audit & Assurance division in Australia especially when they have 1.5 -2.5 years of experience under their belt? Have they started leading engagements with vacationeers and graduates being their team...

Very very competitive. In WA itself, to be an admin or accounts assistant requires 1-2 years of experience and knowledge on certain accounting/administrative software. Am afraid I will miss my chance for grad programs as I am an international student where we can't get cadetships and vacation...

Cheers mate. 75 is pretty good, considering you're in a huge cohort that doesn't have massive scaling.

For some unknown reason, I am now back on track. Academically motivated again =) . Just another question, how did you guys tackle Auditing in both uni and CA exams? Is there a particular study method for that? I personally find Auditing quite theoretical and it is not as interesting as...

During the days back in high school (or the past 8 years), I was well-disciplined when it comes to study. However recently I've realised I am somewhat lacking of academic motivation. I procrastinate really badly and I found that I don't have a big, realistic & solid goal at the moment...

Asking graduates and CA candidates out there, Do you have any advice on tackling consolidation? How did you guys pulled it through and move on to the next level? I think more or less one of the CA technical modules will somewhat include consolidation. This seems to be a major problem among...

More theory and standards (practical application: implication of standards on extractive industries, agricultural biological assets, financial instruments, accounting policies, leases, recognition and subsequent measurements, transactions involving acquisition, accounting tax treatment etc)...

By the time when you have gained admission to UWA, you've can't do triple majors anymore (nor UWA offers double degree either). Just check with the universities (research) to find out where you can do triple majors.

I am now doing a 3rd year unit Financial Accounting: Theory & Practice where I come across with more accounting standards. It wasn't too bad but I am somewhat disadvantaged since units such as advance corporate accounting & introduction to finance would be a great advisable prior to study units...

I am not planning to stay in uni as I look forward on professional qualification. The fact that my first 2 majors overlapped leaving me 6 empty slots are sufficient as long as I am taking a new major from the business school. Hence I do not need to extend the duration of my degree. I do...

It is indeed possible. Unfortunately the remaining 6 units I have(including an overloading unit) are not enough to fulfill an arts major.

Just popped up another 4 questions randomly..:jump: 1. What part-time/casual accounting jobs do you guys get to be involve in whilst studying full-time bachelor of commerce/accounting degree?. As I browsed through job search lists, I seemed to be somewhat disadvantage because I do not know how...

Are you guys (referring to UNSW) learning consolidation, business combinations, liquidation etc in a accounting level 2 subject as well? Level 1 accounting unit is seriously almost a joke. :spin:.

Have never touched economics at all until first year. I did macro and another economics unit last semester. At first I struggled a little for the first 2 months. At that point of time Economics is really a strange field for me. But it gets pretty interesting as time passes. Turns out it wasn't...

Hey there congrats! :awesome: Am sure your hard work paid that off. Were those exams difficult as what others have mentioned?

Hey peeps, given myself a little more time this is what I've worked out so far: - Language units are no longer part of the consideration, couldn't agree more with what seremify007 has said. - I have just completed an introductory business law unit (except waiting for final exams) and I don't...

Thank you for your suggestion. For now I do get concern with my WAM and try to keep it up to its best as possible since year 2 and 3 accounting subjects are going to get more difficult. You're right about languages. Wouldn't have know there were such dodgy people. Thinking again, it's not worth...
