ISCA collaborated with recruiter Robert Half Singapore to access salary data from the Robert Half 2024 Singapore Salary Guide. The resulting 10-page document, released on March 14 and titled Snippets Revelation #1 — Accountancy: Pathways, Progression and Prospects, claims high-achieving accountancy graduates can attain director-level positions across multiple career tracks in slightly over 10 years.
The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has launched the first of three resource packs aimed at dispelling myths about the profession and convincing students to choose accountancy as a discipline in their undergraduate studies.
This comes as the number of accountancy undergraduates here has fallen by some 10% over the past five years, due to a “sudden knee-jerk switch” to IT during the pandemic, says Yvonne Chan, chairperson of the ISCA Salary and Career Review Taskforce.
