- 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.

Actually hor, the fact that the same taskings can be repeated over and over for years shows very clearly that audit is mainly process driven. It's not "high value" bespoke work like consulting. Which explains why pay scales are so low.

Audit is definitely ripe for replacement by automation. Auditors should be very very scared because their jobs are one of the first in line to be replaced by AI.

At the risk of point out the obvious…

Yes we agree with you, but we know this won’t happen before we leave, so it’s not really a problem of our time.

At least we know the higher make their gold before rip. Hope to see the downfall of audit during our time.

Get a life and quit. Go get a decent job and do something meaningful.

When he makes partner and makes 600k a year you will be the one that needs to get a life

Ever since kindergarten, my dream has been to become a big 4 partner.
