boooo

Lol u clearly is one of those worse than nvr studied hard enough. For those that have to do the 5 papers to get their CA were in the AAA/B batch. The sandwiched batch that was not covered by the 5 day PAC but still expected to get this result to have a place in local uni. After that, expected to clear the 5 isca papers. If you only need to do 1 capstone after ur uni days, dun try to say u or ur uni cert is better than them, its obvious.

Which also has zero value add to Accountancy sector growth where Gen Z only wants instant gratification with low working hours and ease of obtaining CA qualification

Thus we end up killing the accountancy sector and now backtracking

Audit Sector - race to the bottom for lowest fees, your enemies are your compatriots in commercial who strive to block your fee increases

Commercial - you are cost center and 1 headcount to do 3 person work

Well summarised for the whole accounting sector. For the scaq prt they think making u-turn for current and future undergrad gonna save the "oh, lack of sporean wanna be accountant/auditor". Continue the dream. The scaq shouldnt even be there.

Commercial tax industry is too small in sg. Only small handful of MNCs will have separate tax department to hire tax mgr. and the pay bump not great. Career progression slow

Tax is not useful.

Consulting - the better ones go to EY pathenon / Monitor Deloitte.
Even better MBB / boutique consulting like oliver wyman

For eg, if you are Senior 2 and doing the exact same job scope and engagements as Senior 1. The only difference being a pay increase?
