Can you pls specifically point out the area about which you need details?
If you are aspiring to work in Big4, then u should wait till September, because the induction process at Big4 firms will begin in September, after the ACCA results are announced in August and after CA students are over with their examinations. Same is the case with mid-tier firms such as GT(AASR). Big4 and mid-tier firms are only inducting ACCA Affiliates (the only exception is, if u hav got a strong reference).
To be honest, small firms are very cautious of inducting ACCA students. This is because most ACCA students tend to leave the firm within 3-6 months of getting inducted. Thats why most small firms have started to induct ACCA students on a pre-condition(mentioned in the Training Contract) that they would have to work for at least 18-36 months. A breach of contract is reported directly to ACCA.
But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try your luck at small firms. Give a visit to small firms. Ask questions from their HR Dept. Some firms even take your interview right at the spot, if they are in need of trainees. So whenever you give a visit to a small firm, you should be prepared for an interview and never forget to carry your CV along with you. Always try to give a good impression to the potential employer. Who knows, you might just get yourself inducted.
