Becos why would a commercial firm hire someone in with only audit experience to manage a team ? How u manage ppl who knows the system and business better? Financial reporting is like 20% of what ppl do in commercial and u can find $4k accountants easily
Public is the best. Commercial low pay unless u fc and above.

Audit firms will usually keep those low-margin clients. Staff on these kinds of engagements have to work overtime a lot because the bookings are usually shorter.

Unregistered Gov throw $15m and audit firm increase salaries for A1 to $4.1K

Is like saying "Limpeh throw money" = see people want to join or not?

Is really a display of arrogance!

Remind of our water experts. If many people are using water, simple!! just increase the water tax lor...see people still dare to use so much water or not?

Is like playing with numbers

Dump $15m = increase 100 people join audit industry
Dump $30m = increase 200 people join audit industry
Dump $45m = increase 300 people join audit industry
Dump $70m = increase 400 people join audit industry

They can’t be removed as well as they are technically the owners of the firms. No point fighting among yourselves for an issue that the govt can’t even handle…

For SCAQ, they are just a joke and making CA title completely worthless. Requirements constantly changing just for them to hit their quotas. Increasing salary and giving exemptions to fresh grads to give them the incentive to start on SCAQ. But the 3 years practical experience requirement is the real KPI that they are looking at to keep us fresh grads stuck in big 4 to do audit.

If ISCA purely wanted more CAs, then I look forward to them reducing the 3 year requirement. Since they already given more exemptions, candidates should take a shorter time to complete CA right? REDUCE THE RPEC REQUIREMENT

For ppl thinking of studying accountancy, don’t
