it is however, NOT necessary to work in an ACCA approved firm or company so as to fulfill the Performance Objectives set by ACCA. The Performance Objectives can be viewed on the following link

when firm start paying to ACCA trainee
after qualification or when they join the firm at anytime durig study or after qualification


- Odyssee - 05-24-2009

ACCA Trainees are given a monthly stipend (the amount of which varies from company to company as well the number of papers cleared and previous experience)as soon as they are inducted as trainees. Audit firms normally do not provide a handsome stipend as compared to the industry.
BTW the 3 years compulsory training and Training Performance Objectives can be achieved by doing a relevant JOB(if u can find one).
Thats the reason why ACCA students,who do not want to do CA from ICAP, gather experience in an audit firm for about an year or so and then opt to move to the industry for a job.

Guys where can I get the updated list of ACCAs gold and platinum employers? Can anyone tell me if AFF is a gold or platinum employer? I ask because students of such an organisation dont need to complete the TDM and only have to submit the PER.
