安徽考生瞧一瞧如今在德勤工作的ACA前辈的心得

 

　　Victoria, 25. Qualified ACA, Assistant Manager, Deloitte

　　I chose a career in chartered accountancy as it offered me a variety of projects and the opportunity to get out of the office and work on-site with clients.  Gaining a professional qualification was also very important and the ACA seemed to be the most highly regarded and well-established qualification.  It is respected the world over the offers the opportunity to work internationally.

　　Once ACA qualified, I applied for a secondment to the Deloitte Forensic & Dispute Services department and was almost immediately assigned to a business insurance consulting job.  It was unlike any project I had worked on before, and we had to assist the client in the calculation of an insurance claim following a fire at their warehouse.  It involved elements of sales forecasting giving me the chance to use my statistics degree.

　　I then worked on a forensic investigation for a week where a large proportion of my time was spent doing a communications review.  The Forensic IT team had been instructed to recover files and emails from staff computers at an organization under investigation.

　　I spent three days reviewing every email sent and received by a director of the company over the previous three years to look for any information or evidence critical to the investigation.

　　I enjoyed my secondment so much that I joined the department permanently in February 2006.  I am currently working on my most challenging project – an insurance consulting project for an oil and gas company in Norway.

　　I spend three or four days a week working in Norway with engineers and economists with years of experience in their industry.  At times it can be daunting but being an ACA definitely earns you a lot of respect, even in instances where you do not have the sector specific knowledge.
