Hello everyone,

As an audit partner, I recently conducted interviews with several candidates and noted the following salary expectations for fresh graduates:

1. NTU/NUS/SMU: $4,800 to $5,000
2. SIM-RMIT/SIM-UOL: $3,800 to $4,500
3. Malaysia UTAR/UM/SWC: $3,500 to $4,200
4. ACCA: $4,200 to $4,600

Given these high salary expectations from fresh graduates, can audit firms realistically afford to hire them?

Moreover, senior managers and audit managers, who are in their 40s and 50s, are generally reluctant to do fieldwork. This situation poses a challenge with the high expectations of new graduates.

To our clients, we must inform you that there will no longer be cheap audit fees. Please anticipate higher audit fees in the future.

Thank you for your understanding.
