Why do you want or need the CA title anyway?

These day even better, when most of the firm do not keep hardcopy audit file.

Whoever that in this industry are required to keep up with the requirements and demand of the industry such as changes in the auditing/accounting standards, new isqm/ frs ( that effectives), Sgx requirements.

If genZ do not like this industry, the number of practitioners in the futures will be lesser as the industry is not appealing to GenZ.

Each of the generation have their own fair share of stress and difficulties.

Do not complain later when all the practitioners in the future are foreigner.

Hopefully ISCA can do something

Btw, i am genY

This is just my view toward current GenZ

I rather **** jobs like these be all foreigners. Leave the good jobs to locals.

But why join accounting in the first place?

Most other fields don’t have such requirement to study after graduating.

I can only think of Law which requires extensive study and experience to join the Bar, but that is a far more prestigious field.

Law partners starting 200k+ and 6-7 years can become partner already, but earnings potential can be 10x to 20x of audit MD. Earnings is % of deal size AND actual hours unlike audit after all.

Audit partner starting low 200k after like 15 years at least, local MD only 1m-2m. Own firm need to offer corpsec as well to earn more but no multiple 10m penthouse at NYC London Roppongi Sydney.
