Just f off from this industry/profession.

Artificial attempts to make it as prestigious as law by setting roadblocks, all backfired because nobody wants to join. Now have to gostan

1 and only thing that matters is to INCREASE PAY. nth else matters

but they can't do it because audit fees alr so low and will eat into profit margins.

The industry is basically trapped in a death spiral

Get out while you can

Yea …and the low barrier of entry making it less prestigious.

With accounting standards and business transactions becoming increasingly complex,
accountants in in-house finance and accounting functions of companies need to be well equipped to produce accurate and high-quality financial reports and deliver valuable
financial insights to the organisation. The SCAQ, and the access it offers into the
professional accountancy body ISCA and the wealth of professional development,
networking and other resources available, ensure that

Regulators should emphasise to companies the importance of employing professionally qualified accountants in their key finance functions. This is particularly crucial in companies with high public interest such as listed companies, where accountants play a key role in assisting the company directors to discharge their fiduciary duties over their financial statements and protect the public interest

Bumping this table up since this hasn't really been answered yet, I can only say that the current orange A1 & A2 salary is $3.6k & $4.0k respectively, but someone here claimed that there will be a salary revision

Straits times reported that “ Some major accounting firms have already committed to raising their starting salaries, with details to come.”

It hasn’t been effected yet, so nobody knows except the higher ups.

And if you think there are higher ups among us, I have a bridge to sell you.

There are aunties doing GL entry, AR & AP who have ACCA and did the 5 days PAC and converted into CA without going through any professional exams. How credible is SCAQ? It is a joke that they are considered qualified accountants when they do not even know how to read financial statements.
