@ Dard
can you give me some examples of people who have been through firm and are ONLY ACCAs and now in good positions?? im sure you will find both ways.. there are no hard and fast rules..
if you are joining an investment bank as an investment analyst, i dont see how you 3 years firm audit experience is going to help.
ACCAs cannot, with this sole qualification, make a career in audit so why spend 3 years there? if you want to do CA then it is understandable, otherwise any other qualification you do after ACCA will not require firm experience whether its cima, mba or cfa..

PS. as for your job requirements, they also ask for MBA finance who have never been to any firm.. and these things are getting rarer as days go by. i havent seen this firm requirement for an ACCA in quite some time.
