Auditor in PNG

Hi theaccountant!

Welcome to Expat.com

Armand

Hi there, is that per week or per month?  Would you be here alone or with family?

Thats per month basis and i wont bring my family.

In POM, lunch I eat is around K10-K20 and dinner can be K30-K100 (including drinks)at the restaurant. If I cook, it will be very cheap. My weekly shopping bill is around K60 - K100.

How about utilities ? Are they paid by the company? Cable TV ?

To all fellow auditors @ PNG.... is the offer of net AUD$50k plus accomodation and transportation sounds enough for an expats rate for this position ( those who are working for International Big 4 Auditing Firm in there). Although I've read in some of the forums thread that security and safety are the main consideration, what are the risk/threats for those in this line of work, given that travelling within the country are part of the tasks. Your advise is very much appreciated.

@ Vientiane: Just read that you have been offered AUD 50,000 with a big-four firm? May I ask which firm is that? I have also been offered a job by one of the big 4s and want to compare the packages. Also what position have you been offered?

hello,

Hi! Criscol & Angel_008 -

I'm also considering to work for SVS as an accountant, also from Questcore Inc. Would just like to ask how long was the processing of your papers?
@ Angel_008 - Were you already deployed?

Thank you very much and hope to meeting you there.

Hi Guys,
I do not have much information on SVS in Lae, but had a relative who worked for SVS in Port Moresby in accounts. She  is not an expat but through the company she now works at a mine. I know expatriates who worked for company similar to SVS who are now working in other companies in Papua New Guinea. You can always work elsewhere if you don't like it.
