we will get together and discuus about firms and oppurtunities and how to avail them.

so first of all please give names of favourite firms

[noman]

ok...
my priority is as follows.

1-kpmg
2-aff
3-frsh
4-myasco

i just want to know
1-what is asked in their competency test...
2-do we need to drop CV or fill their application form now or after result?

[Flower]

yar please dont use abbreviation, please use full names

[Schuaeb]

The firms you mentioned Noman requires a form to be filled, however, a CV is to be accompanied with the form. Different competency tests different firms have, and in various cases it does not count very much.

[noman]

schuab could u please tell me whether it is a good idea to submit CV/form at this time before the results have been declared??? becoz someone is telling me that i should drop cv/give form now and not wait for results.....
what did you do???
where are you doing articles? i am in lahore..

yar shyed ap ko ye mazaq ki baat lage but muje ye samajh nahi a rahi k ye kpmg ya aff and others what are. please tell me their full names . i shall be grateful to u noman

[maani]

Hi,
if u have appeared in mod D papers then you must be aware of such abbreviations...i remember during my study of Mod A to Mod D, I have heard these names very frequently...
Anywayz, for kids like you here is the information...

Price Waterhouse Coopers(A.F Ferguson)
Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG Taseer Hadi & Co)
Ernst & Young (Fords Rhodes Sydat Hyder-FRSH)
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (M Yousuf Adil Saleem & Co-MYASCO)

Names of firms in brackets are the firms in Pakistan representing the International Big 4 Firms...

The above mentioned address of MYASCO (Deloitte) is the old one...its current address is "66-E, FCC, Syed Maratab Ali Road, Gulberg IV Lahore"

[capricorn_me]

all 4, specially AFF needs a good 'safarish' rather then a good C.V
their last recruitement of 20 trainees(in group B) comprises of 19 on safarish basis and 1 on merit
so friendz, what u say/thinks now???
i dont know y dont u think on other firms , like Riaz & co, or any good growing firm. and in these firm u get much good expousure then in Big 4. don sure abt rest 3 but in AFF the atmosphere is like that, u r going to 4,5 companies only again and again.
and unfortunatley if u go for PTCL audit then u hav to complete whole 3 years there(bull**** yaar)
whats that????
but one thing is that u got ' THAPA of AFF'
i dont know y our employers dont think abt that, r they this much innocent.???
wht r ur opinions/??

[noman]

i am interested in KPMG...i heard that in AFF you get limited exposure only...
and MYASCO people are too harsh....all that i heard i don't know anything...
but my preference will be KPMG or FRSH....

and MYASCO details i posted is outdated (don't blame me...i copied from icap's list...its their fault)

what about my CV question...??
a senior person (module F) told me that firms finalize the applications even before result it declared....and he told me that i should apply immediatly....
but i called them..
kpmg and frsh......both of them said they are not going to even accept an application....

what do u guys ...who are doing articles now...suggest>?

[Flower]

thanx for explaining firms. waise i m surprised and confused to know that students have very much knowledge about firms.
by blessing of God i have passed three mods without any chance of refer and now hopeful about d module. but i have no knowledge about firms.to mera kia bane ga ab.
yahan to bare knowledgeable log hain. chalen kher Allah behter kare ga.

[noman]

how was ur costa accounting paper mr.phool??
you will get to know firms....don't worry....i know because a cousine of mine is doing ca...ordinary students usually don't know that much...

[Flower]

heloo janab.
acha to ab bat karte ahin selection nad test procedures k baare main.
first of all applications are sen perhaps CV;s then test then interview

and then u r selected.
and attempts + test + interview + luck + reference
now u have to give weightage to these factors

[Sarfaraz]

Reference 9 out of 10
and Attempts + test + interview + luck 1 out of 10

[Flower]

mr. sarfraz u have been very biased. i think it is never reality. abhi pakistan main aisa time nehi aya.
waise have u any experience on which ur assertion is based.
or just aise hi
