The audit partner keep say shortage of manpower. Really so many excuses.

Give ppl thing dont give shyt la. Go reflect urself.

Audit copy and paste only. Do so much work for wad. Late is bad.
No excuse. Its just staff not competent and weak. Low end job cannot expect much. Also the fee u paid low, dont expect good service. Common sense.
Go get a new job if u dun wan deal with monkeys

No good comp, no wlb. who wanna join? you worry then go convince the partners to change for real ok? no cutting bonus to bump basic nonsense because total comp is same.

Your partners are the one outsourcing to those countries. I know people who are in ISCA and ACRA and they can only advise audit partners but as usual the partners don't care. in SG not mandatory = no need, advise = no need.

Hire foreigners got quota leh.

If not, every audit firm would be hiring foreigners to fill in the jobs.

What I am most worry is ISCA or our audit industry will start to look for people from India, the Philippines, Myanmar and Vietnam

As an auditor let me give you some assurance, at the b4 level, what you have mentioned above is already happening and at a rapid pace, will not be surprised if subsequently you just have a local manager with the rest of the team being offshored

Our CEO is very unhappy with the audit firm. He is concern about his remuneration being audited by the offshored team.

You can pay extra to have SM or partner personally audit your payroll you know? That's what the banks here do.
