Anyone else noticing the level of review and quality of work has become trash lately? I recently walked through a file and half the workpapers were incomplete but signed off at every level of review😂🤣

Wholeheartedly agree with so many of the comments here. I feel like the whole accounting industry is dying, no one want to do this miserable job anymore, the partners think they can fix it by shipping the work offshore which will only contribute to the erosion of this profession…. Is anyone thinking about the vacuum we are creating by shipping all of the associate work out??? How the hell are associates going to get the proper training so they can become Seniors, Managers, etc…..? Every person I know in accounting is totally burnt out, myself included…

At PwC we offshore all the meaningless crap. Transferring tick marks, mathematical accuracy, near zero risk audit areas.

What’s the incentive? It’s an accountant employee market out there. If they get fired they just find another job.

Why is everyone only talking about stress and workload but not about integrity? Doing a job that you've been hired for "well" is the first and most important aspect of this conversation.

☝️Yep! I agree with @TS1

One manager asked me to do her a favor and ping another Senior Manager to get a memo she wrote. I was like weird, but okay.
SM pings me back saying memo isn’t ready yet and he scheduled a meeting to go through what needs to be included in the memo. I fell for the manager’s trap and I am guessing now I need to write this memo 😊🔫

Not sure if I should correct her on how she should speak to me. Or if I should jump ship & ask not to be on this engagement. still new so i am not stuck on this team yet.
