But though the market is small in Indonesia, a large number of professionals work in these 400 accounting firms.
The job market for finance and accounting jobs particularly fell after the financial crisis in the country in the year 1997. People engaged in finance and accounting jobs in Indonesia faced heavy criticism from the people of the country and for the last one decade have faced a number of challenges.Now the government is expecting some improvement in situation as it has plans to revise the corporate law.
There is a good demand for auditing professionals in the country but the auditing of the listed companies are done by four big auditing firms as auditing is not mandatory in Indonesia.
