    Hey,
    I have a friend working there and she loves the atmosphere and all, she said the people are very supportive. Regarding to study leave it will depend on qualifications you studying towards, like ACCA, ACA etc. usually a week prior the exam I think.
    Btw, I have an interview in 3 days there as well, for audit trainee. Would be able to give any tips, type of questions and all, please

    you might want to think again; a month prior to any exam would generally be contrary to Institute guidelines!

    the questions were typical,
    just talk though ur cv and college experience/subjects.
    Why this position and what you know about the company and exams.

    Ok I think, I've said that many times before and haven't got the job though.
    Only sticky thing was I put on the form that I was sick for a while and it impacted my grades, which is all true and they asked me was it due to stress of college which it wasn't, it was just bad luck so I hope that won't go against me.
    At the end they talked about what office of like to work in which I think sounds positive.
