During university, I really had no clue what i wanted to. After graduating I was fortunate to land a big 4 audit offer where ill study towards the ACA. I just wanted to ask how useful is the aca outside of accounting. E.g other finance roles
Im starting this september and was having a look at my timetable. The way my firm does it is they frontload exams, so my only focus is exams for the first couple months. I just wanted to ask how dense in the material for certificate exams. For all of the 6 exams, ill have around 1-2 weeks of studying beforehand. How many hours studying did you guys do prior to each exam?
Also are business law and ethics considered easier? On our timetable its just 1 week of self study before the exam. I guess ill find out more ehen i start doing it, but just wanted to know a bit about it beforehand
I guess having no work should help aswell
Ive had these headphones for a while and they've been great. I dont usually take headphones with me when I go travelling, but was thinking of taking it with me this time.
Has anyone had experience with them on an a plane? They Havent got ANC so not sure if its worth taking
Starting in September for the audit grad scheme out of university. Just thought it would be interesting to see where people are at now in their careers and whether the big 4 experience helped them.
Im starting a new role soon and in the pre screening checks, I have to add employment history. During a summer in university l, I did an unpaid remote internship. Im not sure if I need to add this?
Im starting this september as an audit grad and just found our recently that your broker needs to be on this list.
I just wanted to ask if trading212 is on it. If not what brokers do you use?
Im joining the audit grad scheme in September and aparently theres restrictions to stocks you can buy which I suppose makes sense since were not in Congress.
But how strict is it? Is it mainly for more senior employees or everyone?
If the firm doesnt audit a company, e.g, Nvidia is it fine for me to keep it? Or if they do audit a client for example rocketlab, does every single employee have to sell their holdings or just those that are working on the project?
Do you have to get approval before purchasing stock or can you just buy?
Im guessing etfs would be fine aswell?
I got really into investing at university so just wanted to ask lol. I hope its not too restrictive
Ill likely be starting the ACA this september and I keep hearing different opinions on the difficulty. Some people say its the hardest thing they done but others say it wasnt as hard as university or even A-Levels. Some of which did the same degree/ A-levels as me.
Just wanted to ask on your perspective on how you found it. Was it mainly the amount of content + working full time that made it difficult rather than it being conceptually difficult? How would you compare it to past studies?
I have an offer for the audit grad scheme and plan to start in September, I just wanted to ask if anyone has had experience with it and how they found it.
When speaking to the interviewer, he mentioned that the start is very much like university since theres a big emphasis on passing the exams. I just found out that I got 12 exams in the first year so is it essentially filled out with classes and study leave?
Theres no exams in second year and I have the 2 advanced ones in third year, so im guessing second year is when you you start experiencing projects?
I start a new role in september and at the company, I can take up to a £7000 interest free loan. It Is then repayed in 12,24 or 36 months depending on what you choose.
This is a no-brainer right? I dont really need the money but just sticking it in a index fund in my ISA seems like an easy decision?. Cant really think of any downsides of me taking it.
Just wanted to ask for peoples opinions
