Default How long does background check go on?

I got an offer with a Big4 Audit firm for a support role. The background check has been doing on for the last 1 month and there is no end in sight. I am without a job until then and cannot afford to wait anymore.

What does a Big4 firm in Singapore check - academics, employment history, criminal record, marriage, ...

Why this take 1 month plus for someone who has lived in Singapore all her life, studies and worked in Singapore most of the time and so on?

Anyone with a similar experience? I am willing to work while the background check goes on but the company told me "no, wait until the checks are over". Waht can I do?
