No I am in the right thread, I am an auditor wanting to break into investment banking. I am sure there are auditors who did that so anyone who been through this patch could advise ?

From 2014 to 2023 NTU graduate cry father cry mother said what "last time in NTU already done before tax and financial reporting, why repeat again? "
This kind of argument also acceptable by ISCA??
Unless you tell me the SCAQ paper is exactly the same as NTU exam paper?
But what about USA CPA Exam, Hong Kong CPA exam, I understand they also need to do CPA exam after graduate, they also never use the reason like "last time in uni already done before tax and financial reporting, why repeat again? "
Then like that our lawyers taking bar exam also can kpkb say "Oh these bar exam paper last time in NUS also done before already...aiyo why repeat in bar exam again"?
Tio boh?

Even now is also not as easy as last time when you can just grandfather into SCAQ through 5 days pac. Tons of JHK who had acca and icpas in the past converted to CA for free. It can never be as prestigious as they proclaim it to be.

At the expense of the previous batches: devaluing the cert, reducing bonus
