What kind of info do we hope to find about the journal entry section of work paper reviews? Say a company has a passed on adjustments from their audit

I’m in FDD… I know I signed up for this but there’s something about the anxiety that comes on a Friday knowing that we still didn’t get access to VDR .. and how that anxiety grows as you enter the long weekend knowing that access can happen at any minute (or not) and you have to tippy-toe on the idea of potentially cancelling on your memorial weekend plans. I know the unpredictability of our job but phew 😮‍💨

Does anyone have any insight to the FDD group at Stout?
