Working Life

Did I actually tell you guys that I have start my first job since this January? This was the real first job that is directly connect to my study of ACCA. I have started as an audit assistance in a small firm while I am still doing my ACCA as I really want to get out to the practical world and experience how an audit was actually done. Seriously, some said 'what you study is different from what you do in your work', but I can tell you that this statement can be true and false at the same time. I've learnt audit from ACCA and it is totally applicable in my audit work. On the opposite side, working do tell you some book theories may not applicable in the practical world. Sometime I do feel that ACCA syllabus is so much harder than practical work. Every single detail audit procedures I've learnt from P7 have gave me more than enough to actually apply in audit work. Anyone out there which was an expert of P7, YOU can definitely be a good audit manager/partner because P7 has taught you to be alert and action to be take when suspicion arise. Working as an auditor was really time consuming until you have to give up something, finished work at 9 or 10 pm already makes me suffocate and seriously I can't imagine hows the auditor in big firm is doing, work until 3 or 4 am in the morning? That is so crazy...

Last hurdle of ACCA

So I have come back to here again, just wanted to inform that I've make through most of the Acca exam and now I am left with one option paper P7 Audit and Assurance. How funny is it for an auditor to failed an audit paper? I did it confidently but somehow dint make through last sem. So I decided to quit my job soon to focus on my study, I have made my mind to graduate this time as I am not allow myself to drag my studies anymore seeing that my friend are graduating each by each. The good part was I have actually got first class honour degree for my OBU, my hard work did paid off actually, I get a grade A for my project. I was invited to the OBU graduation ceremony but for no idea why I didn't wan to attend. P7 is a lesson of life for me, I have come to realised that things were not happen as what we always expect, failure makes me grow strong, try harder, learnt from mistake and never give up. That is life.
