one more thing i wanna know about is erp consultancy ... i know what it is what i wanna know is the pospects of the career of a finance student like me in this field.

Hello,

Big4 for ACCA students have become almost impossible in audit unless you have a reference. In past years there has been over saturation of ICAP trainees and they fill in all the Big4 training positions. Few ACCAs make into Big4 audit ...only those who have a strong reference.

Anjum Asmin aka Grant Thornton is a good choice after Big4. Most of the consultancy clients of the big4 firms are audit clients ofr Anjum Asim.

yup big 4 r now not prefering ACCA but still there r possibilities 4 getting a chance in these firms. in this induction Ernst Young Lahore, KPMG Lahore and A.F Ferguson have inducted sum ACCA qualified. infact i have seen a lot of students in AFF who r ACCA qualified. So it is wrong to say that it is impossible it depend on ur luck. But one thing i want to mention here that those ACCA who r in AFF and FRSH have claimed CA inter exemption . so if u too do that there is no reason that u dont get a chance.
but if ur luck betray u dnt hesitate to go Anjum Asim

Regards Gohar.
