industry vs audit firms

[amjidali]

i am an ACCA student and want to know that wdr industry experience especially in big industries is valued more than getting relevent experiece in an audit firm.?

depends on what qualification you wanna pursue after ACCA. for instance, if you are looking to become a chartered accountant, then you have no other option than to join an audit firm. on the other hand, if you want to do qualifications like Cfa, cima etc.. then it would be better to directly join the industry and start making your presence felt..

hope that helps
