If audit not so.. unless u gg for partner role. Otherwise its a waste unless u really like audit.

Commercial will look for cheaper option like acca or non qualified ones.

Thanks! I don’t practise anymore
But I just paid the renewal fees, plus the new CPE learning platform subscription to keep in touch

Yes you are right.

Just take note: Post #9834 is asking about “usually”.

You are asking about “if”.

No. Unless u are regional/ group. Normal fm is bad too.

Hi fellow audit senior/associates, audit senior manager in one of the big 4 here. Here are some tips to be mindful to prepare for upcoming peak. Before you guys go on block leave please make sure the following below is done
- sent out all audit request lists to the various dept of ur client
- complete all interim controls testing and relevant documentation
- interim substantive analytical procedures
- management letter points
- P/L interim substantive testing
- Prepare and send out all YE confirmation requests
- inventory counts
- also, make sure flag out what are the working papers are ready for review and what is outstanding currently (including valid reason why is it outstanding)

If any of the above is not completed, strongly suggest that you guys complete it during your block leave so that peak season will be manageable for you guys. Generally as a senior manager, I expect my guys to finish the above before they go on their block leave so that I can review the work done during that period.

Back in 2015 my batch people would have thanked you for these reminders.

now 2022 you cannot talk in this tone to Gen Z

no joke, now associate “bigger” than SM. They want to 6pm pack up go home we also suck thumb.

End up work paper empty also I have to do myself…
