kpmg V/s PWC

Please do not bother about joining any of the Audit Firm near you...

Its not in the firm, its in You to learn and the Zeal that comes out ...

Concentrate on Studies....

To me Any Audit Firm is OK, as long as you LEARN things.

Well .... amongst the two i think kpmg is a better bet ..... the timings are pretty much the same time and you would have to stretch late nights ... but kpmg has a better work culture and students apparently get 20 days more for ca final as leave as opposed to pwc.......

Hi Shreya,

Don't bother about the firm..

both are nice..

Its upto you that what your approach is towards your work

all that sehe asked was PWC or KPMG,

@ all others except NAREN

please reply to the question

KPMG is better, better work culture and services offered.

as he said the time given for preparation.

DOnt bother about firm is absolute CRAP.

when ur a CA and into a job,

it plays a very very MAJOR criteria....

as you can get easily placed because of the reputation u get by working in the BIG 4,

FIrm doesn't matter, concentrate on ur studies are said by people who lack self confidence in clearing the CA exam...

Hey, i guess it good to join KPMG rather than PWC bcoz i hav friend who now wants to come out of water house as its lack flexiblity, long working hours, holiday problem, whereas the in other ther is lot of scope beyond Audit.. KPMG is much involved in consultancy and u would love it.............

Good Luck..................

first atleast get into any of those firms then think abt them

rite now DELLOTTIE most of good listed companies wth them

so try in delloittie also

 i m also attaching a list of ca firms in Mumbai for ur ref

u can try there also

here it is

Hi shreya,

This is brijesh narula,

see wat i wud suggest that you dont go in for big names,coz these big 4 firms will make you work as per there requirement and not as per ur convenience,

you wont be getting any time for ur studies and they will even send u on a lot of outstation assignments

after getting a rank in my pe2 i also wanted to go in 4 these big4s bt those of my frns working with them suggested me that big4 are the best place to be after qualifying ca-final and certainly not b4 dat.

currently i m working with grant thornton-delhi,

its d largest non-big4 firm,has all d advantages of big 4 bt limited disadvantages of the same,

i suggest u dont compromise on ur studies.

for any other help,u can contact me at brijesh.narula @ gmail.com

(this is for all the people reading this)

thanks guys.. u'll have been a gr8 help..

That depends on your work profile. So it is very hard to tell anything about it. but one thing is sure that in both cases it would not be easy to get transfer.

One fact that i can tell you is that KPMG is hiring few Article assistants.

Shreya if you want the truth, the truth is-"BIG4 DO NOT ALLOW TRANSFERS"

Until unless a partner of the firm is a very good friend or very good relative of yours who's ready to oblige you this much to give you articlehip transfer. Or else forget it.

I feel that transfers are possible now in the first year of CA articleship without any difficulty. The recent rule says, :"Transfer /termination of articles is permitted without any restriction during the first year of articles". Hence one can join any firm and seek transfer if he/she desires so in an year's time.
