BDO is good. Tools will be better than canvas/caseware

Well, i have seen some Ex big4 M/SM cant survive there, Not just walk in the park , one still need to proof his worth . No one give a fuk on big4 tbh. Haha

Im from EY. I don't know any other systems apart from Canvas.. Never been to other firms before. But some other ppl that joined from other big 4 told me that their systems are better than canvas hahahaha
Will it be easy for me to adapt to using their tools? Since canvas is bad so im scared i dont have the skills in using good tools >.<
Im joining at S1 level. So not too high lvl. Hope they are still ok to guide me abit since i will be new to the firm

not knowing other systems is part and parcel of being an auditor
when you go private you have no knowledge of accounting software then need the ap/ar clerk to teach you while your finance manager and colleague give you brack face

Peoples are generally good , lower turnover rates and good staff retention.

S1 is the rank where you barely understand whats going on but find that you have 2 kids to take care of and you are the 'adult' in the room.

What will you all do if you found out your auditor go overseas when the audit still ongoing ah?

Just added the chiobu auditor who is single on IG & she went overseas…

Do i send her a PM on IG and ask for the audit status update?

Anyway the reason why i wrote this is because

Sometimes its quite difficult to be in this line and maintain certain sense of propriety with social media

The expectations for this kind of professional role is quite difficult.

Want to post IG story of myself enjoying life on Weekday/Weekend also difficult. Sigh

Managers/SM/D and P are goods and dont worry,

They willing to spends time to guide and teach, just be humble and keep learning.

:/ i had spent close to a decade over there before made the switch

Set the timeline and expectations ahead during the early stage.

Why need to disturb people personal life?
