    You should look at going into industry and register for ACCA immediatly. It is really unlikely you will get an ACA firm to take you on in the medium term given the way things are.

    failed two, nah not really interested in changing exams wanna keep going at these. Not looking for big four or anything I know I'd never have a hope of that, maybe a small practice you're prob right tho it's a bit of a long shot.

    Have a think about the ACCA as you get exemptions and can start the exams straight away plus it would be much easier to find work in Industry within a reasonable timeframe than a CA practice.

    it's 450 quid as far as a i know, bit steep like. Got 46 in audit considered appealing but realistically i can't see the mark being changed. Just a money racket really.

    Sorry, for a second there I thought I read €450 for a re-check :eek:

    Chin up, OP - hope it works out for you.
