A good option to start a career is an audit firm. No better PpL to work with than the Chartered Accountants themselves. Although a working in a firm will be VERY tough in the start

How many papers are left in your ACCA?
Yeah, sadly firms prefer C.A inters because they know the C.A internees are not going to go anywhere for atleast 3.5years. Whereas ACCA affiliates have no binding contract and can leave the firm anytime
Would you please tell me the responsibilities to be given to you in the post ERP consultant? I am not sure about the nature of the job


- saira.awanACCA - 02-07-2010

I am waiting result of Last three papers


- Dard - 02-07-2010

Mmm, best of luck with the results. May you pass the exams
Job responsibilies bhi bata dein

Saira start doing Job by availing the available opportunity, if your ultimate intension is not to do CA then more feasible option is to do the Job in the firm, you discussed.
However, if you want to continue CA after ACCA then join any CA firm.
