U.K. accountants fear graduate exodus
Starting salary too low
Nearly one third of accountants fear that graduates entering the profession will leave within just two years of qualifying. Only 27% of graduates are expected to stay in the profession for five years or more.
The research suggests that 76% of accountants consider the £23,000 (about US$45,000) starting salary inadequate to attract a good calibre of accountant, with 26% believing salaries should increase by one half, and 29% by one quarter.
