I will ask the audit team to come down to do vouching.

Audit is not just compliance.
It is also abt front facing client service

lol cos sg big 4 don't charge them for travel. overseas we charge per km so client rather we dont come down

How do y'all manage follow ups when working on your next engagement? Do we charge to that time code too or will we be asked to reverse? Dying from working on 2 jobs at the same time

Every single thing ask question without any thought. Do work without actually doing the work. Write remarks and emails also can't write properly. Guess future audit is just getting outsourced to India since partners don't wanna improve things and would rather hire crap.

I'm not even someone who like to **** on juniors, prev year was fine. The level of juniors I'm getting this year is just too insane. It's like SME chinaman firm 2.5k pay quality. Not even tonkotsu ramen uni grads either.

Staff quality in general has fallen off a cliff within the past 3 years. The senior partners have no incentive to improve or change anything because that will affect their salary. If i am about to retire i wouldnt give 2 shits about the next generation of problems.

On top of all this bs, still have the roll out of ISA 315 and implementation of new audit software, half of which dont even help the engagement, but must do just to meet KPI.

I mean the people setting the direction at the top are really using their ass to think or just really want to preserve margins and give up on audit quality. It's like audit originally was difficult, but hey, staff quality worse now, lets make it even more difficult.

This is compounded by the fact that good people are leaving because theres a real shortage now, and those cui ones cant find a job and stay contributing to the deterioration.

Absolute **** show.

Other side of the globe record fines being dished out like free because of poor audit quality. Won't be long before same happens here.

Just charge the actual hours you work for both jobs. When appear on staff utilization you very sat ki. Work 2 jobs and many more hours than most. But all you get is a pat on your back and maybe 1 month extra bonus. But your salary same as the next guy who just tang ping

Curious about this too. I can't take audit anymore, even analytics or BI is fine. Dreading the upcoming peak and the job market outside is bad since it's Q4.

All the new regulations and standards are getting ridiculous... Anyone who has done fieldwork knows they don't contribute anything and gets ********ted due to time constrains anyway. Some regulators just want to show that they are worth their paycheck and end up dumping stupid work onto us.

Lack of staff, more work due to more standards, terrible new software, lack of fees because 3% inflation lol, it's amazing that we don't have any Wirecard scandal in Singapore so far. (Maybe it'd be better if there was, then these partners can finally get screwed)

How much does manager in KPMG earn?
