Anyone else do valuation support for audit teams? I hate it so much, dealing with tons of different teams who all expect unrealistic deadlines and budget. As if our work takes three hours to do and they're the only team I work for :x. Wondering how others feel

As a member of an audit team requesting the valuation team's help, im sorry lol. From my experience we get you the PBC last minute, set tight deadlines, and throw all the curve balls on to you.

I mean I think there are people who are just built different and handle quick deadlines better than me, so probably more of a me thing.

Even though there's not much you can do deadline wise, I do wish audit teams were more aware of the fact their valuation teams are working with 8+ teams on a weekly basis so my entire attention can never be set on them

I realized that valuations deal with audits still and ran as fast as I could

I enjoy the fact patterns and work itself but man... the audit aspect does suck

This is innate to any audit you ever touch. Having once worked in audit, one thing I noticed is once an audit team has found a way to pawn off work, such as valuation, they will pawn off as much work as humanly possible and grind you to the bone if allowed. Actually stunning how understaffed our audit practice is based on my perception and personal experiences/ people I know still in it
